sleep disturbance

Years ago, I went camping with my cousin Mike. At nightfall, we retired to our separate tents to sleep, and an hour later, I startled awake at the sound of a bear growling outside my tent. GggrrRAAWWLL! This terrifying grumble continued until I realized it was, in fact, Mike snoring. And then I heard something even more frightening: total silence. He’d stopped breathing.
