Sleep

No sooner had I got into bed than the little girl got very lively, and I heard her stampeding around directly overhead. I was just starting to fall asleep when there was another stampede followed by what sounded like a toy cupboard crashing to the floor, with all its contents falling out at the same time. No intervention from mother, even though it was nearly eleven o'clock. So that was that. I was wide awake, feeling shaken and nervous. Sleep was consequently very unsatisfactory.
