So very true. I am exactly the same. Before having kids, a freight train couldn't wake me. I still sleep soundly and often fall asleep without finishing page 2 of the paper but I wake up much more easily, usually several times a night when little feet come to my bedside wanting a glass of water or to go to the bathroom, or the little one cries in her crib. Having kids conditions you to sleep more lightly.
