Bionic Hearing

Bionic Hearing... 

It's the annoying ability to hear every single noise

when you are trying to sleep. 
Everything... no matter how faint.

Noises inside... noises outside.

Noises from the unknown.

You can even hear yourself breathing.

You can hear your own heart beating.

And it's ongoing... Never ending. 
Relentless. 

There is no possible way to fall asleep.

Two hours in bed tossing... turning...

Hearing anything and everything. 
Until you finally exhaust yourself trying to sleep

And reluctantly get up. 

You can fall asleep watching tv with the lights on. 
You can fall asleep in a moving car with all the noise. 
But lay down in a dark bedroom... peaceful & quiet...

And there is no you can even begin to fall asleep.

This is your life now. 
The best and only sleep is a mid morning nap.

And an afternoon nap.

And the problem perpetuates itself day after day.

You are fortunate to accumulate 5-6 hours sleep per day. 

Sleep aids are useless. 
So... There you are... Desperate for sleep.
