I too, sleep like a rock "usually" lol I slept thru the big Calif earthquake back in 1971? I think, which tossed my parents off their bed! Mom told me she can't believe how deep I sleep. Only time something woke me, was my 1st time in Philippines, 2016. Was there 3 months on top of a families mountain they farmed/owned. Dad had 17+ fighting roosters, on their poles around the perimeter of the house, hens and chicks slept under the house.....They crowed bright and early too 5 am or so.The dad would turn on his giant outdoor boom karaoke system, so he could hear it down in the canyon at his other house, while he went to feed his goats and such hahaha.....The sister across the yard finally told him quit it ! Was too dang early and drove them all nuts.
Well, dad liked his american oldies
