Default Sleeping through thunderstorms

Hi Paul,

Nope I love them too much. Faintest rumble and I'm awake, curtains drawn, ready
for the off! We don't get that many in Haytor but boy when they do come the
thunder is often very very loud.

Strangely heavy rain wakes me too, and I should be used to that living here.
Even more strangely snow also wakes me, perhaps I detect the subtle change in
humidity. Wind, however, doesn't as a rule unless it is really strong. The 1987
storm *did* wake me, but that might have been the sound of the willow tree
crashing onto our house in Crowthorne!

As for mugginess, well for me, that is now a thing of the past :-)

Can anyone here manage it?

I never can, though that might be partly because they generally occur on
muggy nights where it's hard to drop off anyway.
