Jkpal, I am just the opposite of your friend. I was my parents sixth child. When i was born, we lived in a two-room house--not two bedrooms--two rooms total--kitchen and living room. We all slept in the living room. I had two younger siblings, too. Imagine 10 people living in two rooms. 8 kids ages newborn to 13 years. Very noisy sleeping conditions. In our house--always

Until I started having back pain that keeps me from sleeping, I slept like a rock. It would take an act of congress to wake me up. I slept through so many things that woke up everyone in the neighborhood. One night the Life Flight helicopter landed in front of our house. My husband and two sons woke up and went outside. They then came back into the house all excited and talked about it. I slept through the whole thing.

All of my siblings are the same way. We all earned to sleep with noise.
