Sleeping during contractions

Em

I've been having contractions for the past six hours or so but they are not consistent yet. I'm getting them every 5 to 20 minutes. I'd like to go to sleep but I'm afraid that I'll go into labor and I won't know. If things start to progress quickly, will the pain wake me up?

UPDATE: So I guess I had no reason to be scared. I've been waking up every 8-15 minutes with each contraction. 😑
