But what if the husband happens to be a heavy sleeper? Back to the land of Ozi and Harriet and double beds? Last night was a first for me - I slept through a loud beeper, 18 inches from my head. My wife gently called my name and I immediately woke up. I did not believe her when she said my beeper had gone off - not until I saw the number on the beeper! People can sleep differently under different situations. While our children were small, I would literally wake up if one happened to stand quietly at our door (open). I would generally wake more easily than my wife for crying children - but not ALWAYS. A 100% of anything is a hard thing to do - for very long. -g barden debconlon wrote: > > I have to put in my two cents worth!
