I'm a terribly light sleeper, too, so I can't sleep at all with noise (unless it's something repetitive like rain), and I can't sleep with other people. Not even in the same room. .n. I also take ages to get to sleep (anywhere between half an hour to an hour) and I'll wake up a couple of times during the night. I'll generally sleep for four - six hours and then go back to sleep if I can before I'm fully awake.
