I don't leave the fan on or use the AC when I'm sleeping (too much noise). If I'm dying due to the weather and my last resort is the AC I set it down to the lowest possible setting or have it on a sleep timer after reaching a certain temperature. I'm that person who's already awake even before any sound waves can reach my ear drums.
How light/heavy of a sleeper are you?

I find if I need to be aware of things I sleep lighter than normal. For example I have new kittens currently, If they start crying I will tend to wake up. But normaly I sleep like the dead.

I wake up when my mobile vibrates (which is in the jacket pocket).

When I am sleeping, I don't even think being mauled by a Grizzly Bear would wake me up, but the second I hear anything involving my children, from a faint cry, to an abnormality in breathing pattern on the baby monitor, I wake up. lol

Do you always sleep with your mobile on you? I usually have mine beside me, like on my bed or a table.
The alarm's set, but the text notification beep is good enough.
I used to be a heavy sleeper, but that was before I moved to America.
Now I live in Metro-Atlanta, and because my home was broken into ransacked while my husband was at work one morning, I'm a very light sleeper. I pretty much have a fear of leaving my home as it is at the moment. I sleep maybe 4 hours solid each night.
I hope you weren't actually asleep while all that was happening. I've known people who have slept through fire sirens

Also depends on how tired I am; for example a few hours ago I managed to fall asleep while the roofers were here 'cause I was so exhausted.

Then, eight months ago, my son was born, and now I barely get any sleep at all

It takes me a while to fall asleep, but once I do i'm between moderate and light sleeper. If I reach the end of my REM cycle then the smallest things wake me up. And once that happens, it takes me a long time to fall asleep. Otherwise I can sleep through thunder storms.

Same here, for the most part. I have to get into the right position first, then that's usually the wrong position because anytime I sleep in that position I wake up 'weirdly'. Then that position is wrong because the duvet cover restricts me somehow - then that's usually a good position. However, the most likely things that wake me up is being really hot, and to lesser extent, being really cold. But otherwise, I'm the same.
However, I have to say: I have the best alarm clock ever. iPod nano plugged into speakers, set an alarm with a custom playlist, turn it off over the night, turns itself on when it's time for the alarm to start and... BOOM! Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith and Metallica blasting out my speakers!
P.S. Kiwi - that's shit sis. I feel for you. :`(
P.P.S. When I say weirdly, you don't want to know. That should give you an idea of what I mean.

No, my mobile is always in my jacket or in my bag, so that I don't forget it when I go out.
But I can hear it though it's on silent mode and the jacket or bag hangs in the corridor

This. Though, if I have a lot on my mind, I find it very difficult to fall asleep. I usually just get up, do something else for an hour and then try again.
