I'm a heavy sleeper.

I realized the other night while my son was away at a friends' house that I sleep like a fat man, a grizzly bear hibernating, a little kid after a drive-in movie wedged like a sack of lead in a bucket seat. If someone were to break in while I was asleep, I'd be a goner before I knew what was happening. Even while cautiously trying to sleep with one eye open and a weapon by my side (because I'm always nervous when I'm home alone at night) , I couldn't wake myself to perceived "danger". I heard bumps and creaks in the night, probably a squirrel in the tree outside my window or someone fooling around outside (I hope not :( ), and I vaguely remember lifting my head up off the pillow to slur out "I see you!", and then promptly falling back to sleep, lol. :( Hell. I distinctly remember being afraid that night, too, but the only thing I could do about it was sleep. I was out cold until my alarm clock went off the following morning and I tried to remember if I had dreamed about danger or if I'd actually been in some and tried to do something about it. Damn.
