Default Sleeping through thunderstorms

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.

I find it difficult, but mainly because of the child in me, you remember
when you was a kid and it was snowing outside, you just had to keep getting
up and looking out of the curtains.

Apparently I used to, when I was a child. Can't do it now, cos I seem to
wake up just before they arrive, probably my subconscious saying "There's a
thunderstorm outside. Get up and watch!" )

Default Sleeping through thunderstorms

Felly sgrifennodd Paul Hyett :

Yes, often. I've been known to sleep through loud overhead thunderstorms.
However, living where we do now, we don't get many thunderstorms, so I
haven't had much chance recently to see if I still do.

I can't remember the last thunderstorm around here that didn't happen
while I was awake.

The last thunderstorm that I remember while I was trying to sleep was in
southern Idaho when we were out camping. You feel very prone when
there's just a flimsy bit of canvas between you and rain, hail and
lightning. Suffice to say I didn't sleep very well!

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 :-)

There was a bad thunderstorm at Bournemouth in August 2002. I was there
on holiday, when the TS came over the thunder caused me to go into type
of sleep were I could half hear the thunder and rain hitting the
windows, I dreamt about cannons and water !

No trouble at all. According to my wife I've slept though some very
noisy thunderstorms. OTOH, I can't sleep near a ticking clock.
