Re: Sleep hygiene

I broke every single rule in this
and I can't sleep in a quiet dark room
my room 3ala autostrad 7arisa
I am used to the noise of the cars and I always sleep with a light on near the room :$
I can't sleep otherwise
I tried sleeping in quiet places before, like in the mountain, I just can't

Re: Sleep hygiene

when I went to the mountain, I use to sleep with the radio turned on next to me, and the battery light in my room on
and that still barely helped :p
