There are two reasons I wear earplugs to bed. First, Mrs. eSquared likes to go to sleep with lullaby movie. The Terminator, for instance, or most any movie with a dramatic soundtrack, lots of screaming and copious gunfire and explosions.Me… not so much. So, I use earplugs. This is the “official” story.
The “unofficial” story: Because of her pregnancy, hormones, acid-reflux and many other horrors only known to mothers, Mrs. eSquared sleeps on her back, propped by many pillows to elevate her upper body.
This position has turned her once dainty and cute “sleeping-sounds” into inhuman, lumberjack snoring that defies simile or explanation. It doesn’t sound like a jackhammer, though it feels like one – behind the eyes. It’s not quite a ripsaw… (actually, I don’t know what a ripsaw sounds like, or if there is such a thing… it just sounds good) but you get my point.
This is the second reason I wear earplugs at night. Because it helps me sleep, I’m sure everyone who knows me, or comes in contact with me during the day – any day, is appreciative.
Stay tuned
