Sleeps through plenty, but woke up when his sister was crying the other night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318314 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:45:26 +0000 winniebee 2318314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so I'm not out in left field. He sleeps through me coming to check on him....through a smoke detector...through thunder and sirens....but baby crying 10 feet from his head....nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318298 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:35:55 +0000 petunia354 2318298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heavy sleeper for sure. But I don't think he'd be able to sleep through sharing a room with a crying baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318295 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:34:38 +0000 MenagerieMama 2318295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very light sleeper. We have 2 dogs that think they are guard dogs so the moment I see UPS I leap up and crate them and hope I caught them in time. She has periods of heavier sleep, usually when she first falls asleep so I have about a 20 min window to do transfers from car or carrier, but after that I'm toast. Her first wake up (still doesn't STTN at 12 mo...) is often when I head to bed because I think it's enough noise (our rooms are next to each other) to wake her up on some level even though I creep around and she has a white noise machine. But she's also slept through thunder storms. So it varies! But in general a light sleeper. Her daycare teacher tells me she wakes up when any of the kids cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318281 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:25:19 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2318281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lightest sleeper ever for naps. </p> <p>Fairly heavy sleeper at night. But being in a different place and a crying baby would keep him up for sure!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318278 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:23:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 2318278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a pretty heavy sleeper, but I doubt he'd sleep through a baby crying in the same room. Sounds pretty normal to me, especially if it wasn't just a one-off cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318273 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:21:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 2318273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very heavy. Our smoke detectors went off a few weeks ago at like 2am (of course), and they are these obnoxious ones that in addition to ear-piercing siren also have a voice that YELLS "fire! Fire! Get out now! Fire!" over and over again. Took forever to get them disarmed. </p> <p>LO snored through the entire ordeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318267 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:16:35 +0000 BandDmommy 2318267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's abnormal. My kids are heavy sleepers but we have yappy dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-light-or-heavy-sleepers#post-2318262 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:14:50 +0000 winniebee 2318262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old transfers from the car at bedtime and has slept through a variety of loud noises in his life. But this weekend we had to room share with the baby and the baby was up all night and kept waking the 3 year old. My mother in law kept going on and on about how odd it was that the older child couldn't sleep through the crying. She even asked if I had talked to my pediatrician about it. Um, why would I do that? </p> <p>Is it abnormal for a child to not be a heavy sleeper? </p>
