I'm kept awake by the slightest change in the sounds of my environment - meaning crickets or frogs outside, which go "on and off" rather than one continuous sound, keep me awake, as does the fan in my room whose sound subtly cycles and pulses, the sound of someone in the next room moving in bed, coughing, breathing deeply, getting up to go to the bathroom, etc. Actually the coughing is loud enough to wake me up, but he can't do anything about it. So is his alarm. And he gets up at the crack of fucking dawn to work out outside which means tons of banging noises, which don't wake me up if I'm already asleep but keep me awake if I'm not.

And being woken / kept awake makes me angry and start ruminating about how much I hate my life, which of course keeps me awake also, and the stress makes me more sound sensitive. It's a vicious cycle. I feel like a zombie, I've slept a total of maybe twenty hours the past four days. I don't know what to do. I even wear earplugs to bed but I can still hear through them.
