bosstrabs I live in a ground floor house which is right next to a subway station entrance. The trains rumble underneath and people are coming and going from 6am to 11pm. I can hear the vendors shouting in the street.
That’s pretty brutal. I’m so used to living in quiet areas.
Part of the problem I have is that my mind goes to whatever it is and thinks about scenarios involving it.
Like the train slowing to a stop would be: the people getting on, their different destinations, the workers, wonder what time they got in to keep the service running, driving one must be lonely, what if one breaks down, backup routes and other linking none-sense like that
If I’m woken up by it my real Achilles heel is where say on a scale of 0-10 (10 being woken up) if I get around a 7 my brain starts being able to think like that then it’s game over - I can’t go backwards and I just have to get up.
The cockerel literally got me onto my cousins 1990s BBC talking alarm clock - a white triangle thing that also had a COCK A DOODLE DO alarm. I then got onto the stress / cortisol levels of the cockerel and what must be troubling it as it seemed to be getting more intense as the minutes went by.
Pass me the tranquilliser (for me not the bird!)
