13. Try not to laugh...

BBC World Service* puts me to sleep. I'm sure it's the voices of the announcers. They're so understated. Very British.

Whatever the reason, it works for me.

The piano keeps me awake. Too many bad piano lessons memories of doing Hannon over and over and over and over... For me it's the stuff of nightmares.

I also have a sound machine. Princess Floof falls asleep to the bird song setting. But when the wrens hit the windowsill every morning, it's all hands on deck. 😄
