My son is a heavy sleeper. I mean coma heavy. When he's sleeping I can pick him up, toss him into bed, turn the light on... he never wakes up once he's out. My daughter is an increadibly light sleeper. When she's asleep I need to tip toe into her room. If I so much as touch a hair on her head she will sit up and ask me what i'm doing. At first I attributed this difference to just the way they are. I considered them individual traits. Then I heard an interesting theory. Could it be because evolution prepares girls to be mothers someday. They need to be light sleepers so they can hear their babies crying in the middle of the night. Hmmm... it's an interesting hypothosis. What then is evolution preparing little boys for? Do our genes want them to grow up to be lazy bums who ignore their baby's cries because they know their light sleeping wives will get up and tend to the baby? Hmmm... they may be on to something here.
