Sleeping while annoying or stimulating things are happening. Like sleeping on a windy beach or sleeping through an interesting movie.
I have friends who can do that, and it seems like they're always ready for the next adventure. It get the feeling this is related to the fact that they slept through the most recent thing we did that wasn't as adventure-ish.
I hope it's a talent or at least something that can be developed because I want to be able to do that someday...
- toast0 5y agoJust like Bruce Banner said in one of the movies that he's always angry, the secret to this one is to be always tired. If you aren't naturally tired all the time, it helps to have a newborn and participate in night feedings[1] while also having plenty to do during the day (perhaps caring for the child or other children during the day or just a job out of the home). [1] I hear these can be easyish if things work out, but if not, there's a lot of steps and you have to be awake enough to do them and you may need both parents involved. As the child develops, the intervals between night feedings tend to increase, it got nice when there was time for a whole sleep cycle for the adults, but way worse when there was only time for 1.5 cycles so you'd be guaranteed a bad interruption. Once it was 2+ it seemed better, 3rd and more sleep cycles seem more ok to interrupt.
