In 5th grade, I left the radio on at night. Every night Donna Lewis came on the only station my radio received where we lived up near a lake. Every night the same song put me to sleep. I Love You Always Forever. Every night I fantasized that one day I would admit to my cousin my feelings for her. One day I did, but that's another story...

Obviously, music has long since stopped working. These days, I leave the window open so I can see the moon because it shines right into my room. I also have a fan on to make sure I don't overheat (it's summer). As for winter, I sleep with my blanket beside me because I don't usually need the warmth. Funny, I wake up with it covering me. And when I sleep on my side, I wake on my back.

The sound of a pindrop can wake me from my slumber, but the world crashing down around me has no such effect. WTF?
