Sound - as we are coming into party season. Some techno music was playing all night, the heartbeat-raising kind that travels through the granite, but I was not 100% sure if it also could be a combine harvester working at night, or even my fridge playing up, or a mix of all of these. So I had to listen to the sounds to figure out what they were, all night, and it kept me busy and annoyed. I’m afraid if I don’t get my lunchtime nap today I’ll throw myself a toddler tantrum later.
same for me. sound is the worst. my neighbor likes to fall asleep to the tv so its just on like all fucking night. its not loud at all, but when theres people speaking i can hear the muffled base of their voice and nothing else. i have no idea what they’re saying but the cadence is so clearly human speech its impossible for my brain to ignore. there was a few months where i could barely sleep before i started wearing ear plugs at night.
i did talk to him about it eventually but after a while he went back to playing the tv at all hours. its such a minor sound its hard to describe to people how it could drive me so crazy so ive just resigned to sleeping with ear plugs forever. helps to tune out my cats having zoomies and yelling too.

Light is awful but I can close my eyes at least.
