Sleep

I went to bed listening to some piano quintets by Boccherini. No sooner had I shut my eyes than thud, thud, thud... started above my head. I could still hear the shrieking and shouting too. It went on for about half an hour (I know this because I had listened to two of the quintets before it stopped) and made me very anxious. Eventually I calmed down and fell asleep, waking up in exactly the same position at nearly six this morning. That was the best night's sleep that I've had in a long while, and I feel the benefit of it this morning. I must have been exhausted last night.
