Things that can and will keep me awake at night, usually occurring in a row, and just as I am about to fall asleep.
Outside factors:
- Crying baby
- Mosquito(es)
- Cat fight
- Dog barking
- Car alarm
- Passing drunks screaming their heads off/ singing
- Motorbikes screeching
- Loud noises due to wind
- A gig at the square close to my house
- My cats throwing down a mountain of metallic objects like pots and pans
- Idiotic companies calling early in the morning/ SMSing in the middle of the night
- Cat in the room scratching on the door to be let out
- Sheet wrinkle at exactly the wrong place (strategically placed for maximum discomfort)
- An exceptional book (but that kind of wakefulness is voluntary)
Factors related to me
- Coughing because of my dust allergy
- Needing to pee (usually five times in a row)
- Foot twitching violently (for some reason I don't understand, my foot has dance aspirations, especially in the a.m.)
- Being horny
- Sudden stomachache
- Stress over having to wake up early/ run errands
- Just because
Possible solutions that take care of all the factors, except for book reading: BOMB THE PLANET AND SLEEP FOREVER AND EVER IN PERFECT PEACE...
