I used to hate sharing a bed with my nephews because I could never sleep 
with them there.  They would move around, make noises and hog the bed. 
Everytime they'd move or make a noise, I would be awake to check on them and 
it would never be a full nights sleep.  The other day, my 3 year old nephew 
had to sleep in my bed and I was ready for a non-sleeping night but was 
surprised to learn that I must have gotten used to the noises and the 
movement (no doubt due to co-sleeping with my dog the past year) and that I 
could sleep fine with my nephew there.  I actually got a decent night sleep 
too (well, at least until he decided that 6:30am was awake time and I was 
thinking more like 10am).
