Have you ever slept dreaming about something where your dream has a background sound/music, and you wake up to realize that the sound is not part of any dream; instead it is coming from somewhere around you. It happens with me often; and it happened today too :)
While I was sleeping today morning, I started hearing little thumping sound which grew louder & louder... when my sleep was light enough to be broken I found that my 6 months old kid was trying to kick the hell out of thin air... & the sound was being produced by his legs hitting the bed. So, while I was sleeping like a baby, my baby wasn't asleep at all.
I gathered all of my energy & tried to open my eyes to find out the time, but could only figure out that clock's small hand was somewhere around 4. Strangely, the larger hand decided to remain invisible & succeeded in doing so.
For a moment I thought about getting up because I hadn't woke up at 4 am since ages, but on second thoughts I remembered that I have never ever woke up at 4 am; so I immediately put my mind to rest & decided to put my baby back to sleep again.
Taking decision was easy, but acting upon it wasn't. I tried various methods to get him back to sleeping, but the kid was adamant. It seemed, as if both of us had made the same decision - to put the other person back to sleep.
This battle lasted almost 15 minutes, and I don't know who won finally; all I remember is that at some point of time, while cradling my baby, I was rocked back to sleep :)
