I mostly like the Spire floorplans, except for putting 2 bathrooms in a 1 BR. But I like that, even in the studios, the entryways are little hall/galleys so that you can't see the entire place from the front door.
And the amenities are pretty fab.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

I was trying to get mac to go to sleep without the light, but have stopped trying for the moment. For me, basic seeping in city lights are ok, but I hate noise - the downstairs neighbor's tv can drive me batty, but I have earplugs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Me too. Any music, tv or conversation and I can't sleep. A regular noise (clock ticking, fan, etc.) is fine.
My new upstairs neighbor is in the habit of turning the tv on rather loud at, say, 3:30 AM. Once or twice I've been woken up from a deep sleep by that.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If I had a place in the giant drill bit I wouldn't want to be all the way at the top -- I like the ones that see more city.
And it looks like you would only have to leave for work - and serious shopping.

Darker is better for sleep -- and all kinds of noise can wake me up. When DH was on call a lot - I had a fan in the bedroom to turn on so I could sleep while he was on the phone

Currently I don't have any earplugs. (Or maybe I have half a pair.) A fan makes a nice white-noise generator.

Punishingly Intricate

I don't think I slept without having the hall light on and my door open until I was in my teens. And then I started it again when I moved into my first apartment w/out roommates in grad school. And didn't stop until 2000 when I moved into the house I own. Now I like it very dark indeed.

yeah, I realize I was being crazy with trying to get him to sleep with so little light since he has never had his own room or bed. Right now a light is dimmed outside his room and his overhead light is dimmed also.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'd like to get blackout curtains - the ambient light from my street is pretty high. I have a white noise machine and use earplugs to sleep - hotel rooms are odd for me because of the lack of white noise.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I recently found out that IKEA has blackout shades in a wide variety of unusual sizes, which is wonderful because currently we are using tinfoil on the windows in D's room to get him to nap during the day.
