Sleep

Since the snow came on Tuesday, I have been having trouble sleeping. Maybe the two are not connected, but you never know.

My first thought Tuesday night as I lay in bed desperately trying to get comfortable and fall asleep was, “The snow makes everything in this city louder!” Again, I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it certainly feels that way.

It seemed like every car, snow plow, or emergency siren would just echo incredibly loudly throughout the city on Tuesday, and it certainly was keeping me awake.

O my gosh, you may not even believe this, but I swear it’s true! You can even ask Josh. Tuesday night as we are getting ready to fall asleep, we were in our silent apartment and I kid you not, our neighbor across the hall yawned. And we HEARD it!!! It was the loudest and most obnoxious thing. Who the heck yawns so loud that it can be heard between upwards of 4 walls!! Crazy.

So not only am I fighting the noises outside to fall asleep, but our noisy neighbor too!

On top of the noise level I’m being subjected to in this city, (which you may recall I am from the quiet country, so I will never be used to this), I have been having the most insane and vivid dreams. None of them make sense but they feel so real that when I wake up I’m surprised to have been asleep.

I cannot wait to have a peaceful night’s sleep. Without crazy dreams, and loud neighbors.

(Also, I am open to ideas about falling asleep easier….)
