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

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

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

I was trying to get mac to go to sleep without the light, but have stopped trying for the moment.
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.

I don't know what to think, but stuff goes missing all the time. Weird stuff to go missing.

ooh just talked to my contractor and there will be color going up in my kitchen/bathroom today! So I'll get to see it before I leave town. And the whole thing should be done by the time I get back in town.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I won't sleep in total darkness. We have a nightlight in our bathroom that is nice and we also leave a hall light on for night trips to the kitchen. When I stay in hotels, I leave the bathroom light on and partially close the door. I'm a 38-year-old scaredy cat!
