While you were sleeping....

I am a ridiculously heavy sleeper. When I started college, I bought one of those extra-loud alarms so I could wake up easier. While living in the dorms, the were a few times that I would be down the hall in the community showers, and I would hear a noisy alarm going off. Of course, it was my alarm, which I had just hit snooze on and not turned off, that I was hearing all the way down the hall and in the shower. That's how noisy it was.

When I'm really tired and in a deep sleep, I can sleep right through that alarm. I'll wake up hours later and have no idea it went off. I've slept through phone calls, people yelling at me, and people even pushing me around to wake me up. I'd imagine sometimes it may seem like I'm dead while sleeping.

One day I stayed up all night and the next day because I had an exam and then an assignment due which I had fallen behind on. It wasn't even one of those marathon awake sessions, just one night without sleep. Well, when I got home that night, I slept for 18 straight hours. When I finally awoke, it was dark out again. I missed an entire day of daylight. Also of note is that I slept through the alarm once again somewhere in that 18 hours.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
