Our house could get pretty noisy at night. ALL of us talk in our sleep. I usually have the "night terrors" and wake up screaming or yelling. Plus, I also sleep wth my eyes open at times. My son either "debates" or laughs, my daughter has her to-do list and Hubby recants the days activities. You can actually draw the kids into conversation, but with Hubby, it's too funny to do anything but listen.
