So last night (or more accurately this morning) at around 3:30 – 4 a.m. my room-mate came home from her job and turned on her t.v. (she lives upstairs and I have the basement). Normally she is considerate of the fact that I am asleep when she gets in and keeps the volume low. Every now and again though she forgets and thus my rest is disturbed (and my regular viewers already know I don’t need to be any more disturbed).
Now I’ve always been the kind of person who has a lot of trouble falling asleep when there’s noise in the house; and last night was no exception. After being awakened I tossed and turned a lot; I would partially doze off then coming back again. At one point I thought I should just get up, even though I had intended to get up at 6:15. And then I thought, if I did get up I could go write something here at The Redneck, and I seem to recall thinking of a good topic. Then, fortunately, I did go back to sleep until my alarm rang.
The only bad thing is, when I got up I could no longer remember what I was going to write about. So that’s why I’m merely giving you a dramatic account of my trials and tribulations whilst I was sleeping.
Has that ever happened to you? What have your sleep troubles been?
