I got to sleep relatively quickly last night, and this is from someone who generally takes over an hour to drop off if I am lucky!. Anyhow, I fell asleep around midnight and would have slept through until around 7am. I do need 7-8 hours sleep in order to be at my best, but rarely achieve this. And on the rare occasion when I just might have got 7 hours, I was woken from a deep slumber at 5am by a man and a woman talking loudly further down the street. Feeling incensed I banged loudly on my window, opened the window, waved my fist, and shut it loudly. The young man and woman (students?) looked up, stopped talking, and walked away.
It took me over an hour to fall to sleep again, and I now feel really tired again.
I will be sleeping at my parents tonight, and generally sleep ok there, feeling revived at the start of the week. If I could not stay at their's, I would not be able to function at all.
I have been in my flat a year now, and would like at some point to move into a place where the bedroom does not face the road - like at my parents. I would also like a place that has good sound insulation, and I hate living in a flat. The one I have is better than many, with its own front door and just one neighbour above, but I cannot live with little sleep for ever!. Being on benefits means I have little choice as to where I live, and this makes me feel angry and negative.
Also I hate change, and other than the noise issues, I like my flat now it has been made 'mine'. I would feel upset if I had to move, but I will have to do this at some point, and right now I just feel angry.
