People Break Down The Craziest Thing They've Ever Slept Through

Do you know a deep sleeper?


Some people are really good at sleeping. When they close their eyes for the night, nothing gets in the brain's way of recharging. Literally, nothing. Snoozing through the likes of natural disasters and loud emergencies can be dangerous...

When Redditor u/anarachelb asked, "Deep sleepers, what have you slept through?", very lucky people were able to look back with humor on shocking moments and loud sounds that didn't disturb their slumbers.

20. They missed a "polite" wake up call

"I (female) was staying the weekend at my friends house (male), we both had fallen asleep and I figured I'd wake him up in a polite manner (catch my drift). He rolled over in his sleep while my mouth was full, had no recollection when he woke up that it had even happened"

19. A crime in progress

"A car robbery that happened out side the bedroom window in the room I was in (not our car)"

16. The house was falling apart

"I've slept through the ceiling falling down in my home. I was a kid when this happened, what I'm told is there were some air pockets between the actual ceiling and the plaster and after a year or so of the house being built the plaster felt in one of the rooms. My parents say they thought the house was falling apart because of the noise, and I just slept through that."

"A firework factory explosion."

14. An actual break in

"My housemate came back with a few friends yelling and screaming at the window. Apparently someone was breaking into the house and I was passed out. There were screws dropped on the outside from where he was unfastening the window locks. I had no idea until he came into my room yelling at me that I didn't stop it."

13. Hotels are so relaxing though...

"A fire truck arriving at our hotel in the middle of the night because of a faulty fire alarm."

12. The smoothie part though...

"My husband was going to stay at a friend's place for the night, but decided to come home instead last minute. I slept through him opening the front door, using his computer for a while and making a frickin fruit smoothie with a blender. I only woke up when he came into the room to go to bed himself"

11. Poor pup couldn't catch a break

"When I was younger I had a tiny closet in my room with a door that opened inward. The dog got in there after I'd fallen asleep and got locked inside and started barking loud. The neighbors heard it and came over to help free the dog. They used a hacksaw to cut a hole in the door panel and they got the dog out about two hours later."

10. Mother nature's most destructive creation

"A tornado. I woke up and my neighbor's roof was gone"

9. Even a fire alarm couldn't disturb them

Giphy

"A fire alarm. My parents thought I had died when they got out of the house and I wasn't there."

8. Poor grandma...

"My grandmother was staying at my house and one night, she got up to get some water, and fell and broke her hip. I slept through the ambulance arriving to pick her up."

7. This huge disaster 

"A house blowing up and then the bull dozers taking the rest down. This happened in the 80s in Philly, so it was row homes. A guy took himself hostage? He was threatening to blow himself up. He had the gas on and was holding a lighter. I guess they didnt think he would go thru with it because a kid in the house nextdoor was burried in the rubble. He was found alive a day or two later. They deemed him the miracle baby."

6. Another sleepy tornado survivor 

"I think the all-time champion was a guy in a motel near Columbus Ohio back in the '70's. A tornado went through the western suburbs, the police were going through the wreckage of the motel, and in what was left of a corner room that had two walls and the roof blown away, they found a guy in the bed. At first they thought he was dead, then they heard him snoring."

5. Giving birth is tiring

Giphy

"A nurse was stunned to find me sleeping while I was in labor. She woke me up to tell me so. Apparently me falling asleep triggered some alarm on one of the machines they had me hooked up to (my heart rate and pulse ox changed or something). I was a bit miffed, because it was like 4am, and I was very tired."

4. What a way to miss breakfast

"Multiple mortar attacks while deployed. Woke up one morning to get ready to go get chow and was confused why everyone was eating MREs...our dining area had been obliterated, maybe 200yds away from my billet"

3. This large impact on their house

"A car hit our house when I was fourteen. It happened at about 2:30am, and the cops estimated the driver (quite drunk) was doing more than 80mph through our subdivision at the time.

There was the impact, the damage to the house, shattering windows, screaming, shouts from the neighbors, staircase charges of my siblings, sirens, everything.

I would have slept through until morning if my sister hadn't woken me telling me I didn't want to miss this."

2. Shaken, not stirred

"The '94 Northridge earthquake, less than 15 miles from the epicenter. I was shaken, but not stirred."

"I slept through my cat giving birth"

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Vance addressed reporters on the tarmac at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport as he left Hungary, where he had voiced the Trump administration’s support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán only days before the country’s elections.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
