Insomnia Stories
I’d like to start a new series called ‘Insomnia Stories.’ Each week I will post a story regarding an experience with acute or chronic insomnia. Many of us have stories we want to share about what keeps us up at night and how we’ve conquered it (or rather seeking advice on how to conquer it). If you would like to share your story on the Smarter Sleeping 101 blog, please email me at patrick@smartersleeping.com. Our first story comes from the fountainside blog:
“Based on everyone’s advice, I was really strategic about my bedtime last night. Comfy clothes, no TV, fluffy yet not too enthralling book (The Nanny Diaries) at the ready, a mindset to rest and not fall asleep.
The first half hour was great; I hit the pillow and five minutes later was asleep. According to Sam I was even snoring, which is brilliant (for me, obviously not for him).
Enter our neighbour’s muffler.
Words cannot describe how much I hate our neighbour’s beat-up old car. I dream about smashing in its windows and letting out its tires. This car not only causes its fair share of air pollution but makes a horrific, earth-shattering noise when it revs, like a succession of lawnmowers amplified by ten, always at odd hours of the night.”
Please continue with reading the rest of the story by visiting the fountainside blog here.
