How do you fall into such a deep sleep in 9 minutes?!!?

It never fails, almost every single morning when my alarm goes off, I hit the snooze button. My alarm is supposed to go off again in 9 minutes and I almost never hear it again. Like this morning, the alarm went off at 5:40 am and I hit snooze. I didn't hear it go off again. I also didn't hear my phone ring 3 times. I didn't wake up until my dog was barking because my mom was knocking on my front door at 6:55 am.

*sigh*

Has this ever happened to you?

Update:

I use to be like that des, I don't know what happened! I guess I'm out of "night mommy mode" since the kids are 5 & 2 and sleep through the night. If I can't hear the alarm 12 inches from my head, I'll never be able to hear it across the room!!

  • I would sleep through a fire. Seriously. A few weeks ago I set my alarm for 2am and woke up at 5am (Vallie woke me up) and the dang alarm clock was STILL going off. If I hit the snooze button in the morning, I'm in trouble....

  • doesn't happen to me because even the smallest noises wake me up no matter how deeply i'm asleep. my alarm plays a cd, and when the cd starts to spin before the music comes on, that tiny noise wakes me up and i usually turn it off before a single note plays to wake up my husband.

    but my husband actually slept through a fire alarm once, so he could easily do the same as you. and i can relate to falling deeply asleep very fast. such is the sleep deprivation of parenthood. maybe put the alarm on the other side of the room so you have to get up before you hit snooze?

  • don't wake up so early or go to bed earlier
