Is it normal to sleep so heavily that you don't wake up off of fire alarms or even from your own children crying in the baby monitor??? I have to set up loads of alarms these days and I either turn them off without remembering or don't hear them at all... This is starting to become a real problem.
consider the alternative of sleeping so lightly that a drop of a pin will wake you up in the middle of the night and cause your heart rate to skyrocket and you will be able to hear your own pulse throbbing like a drum.
but that does suck if you need to react to danger, i would say no, this is not normal.
consider sinking money into a sleep cycle alarm clock.
These clocks analyze your sleep cycle and wake you up before your alarm is set - but they do it when you're at a lighter part of the cycle.
this way it's easier for you to wake up and you don't feel as dead
I do this too, but I have hypersomnia.
For the most part, I can sleep through most sounds. If my dog is barking or someone is talking to me, then it usually takes me awhile to wake up.
I take sleep breaks during the day, but I'm still somewhat tired at night.
