Latest research is pointing to the reality that not getting enough shut-eye could possibly make die young.
The question that I'm wondering is:
Since arriving in the land of midnight noise, do you find that you're sleeping less than before you crossed the puddle?
In the morning, do you usually have an alarm wake you up, or do you wake up on your own?
I, myself am allergic to early morning shifts. Thus I only have to wake up early a couple dozen times a year. What do you all make of people passed out and drooling in the subways?
Thanks for your thoughts. |

I always sleep on buses, subway, trains etc. Its got nothing to do with me not having sleep..its just the warmth, rocking motion that does it.
I'm not a good sleeper so I guess I'm dying young. If someone put out a pill tomorrow that gauranteed 8 hrs uninterrupted sleep with no side effects, I'd buy it. I can never sleep for more than 5 hrs without waking up. |

One benefit of not living in a city is that not only can one go to sleep with peace and quiet but one can wake up as I do to the sound of roosters, a goat, geese, other birds or a cow, depending on the morning. Sometimes the moonlight is so bright that it disrupts sleep at 4 am-ish.

One benefit of hagwons with elementary school aged kids is classes don't start until mid-afternoon.
But I remember living a year in Toronto at Bathurst & St. Clair when I was 25. Sleep was hell. Traffic never stopped, emergency vehicles, horns, at least it wasn't near the nightclubs and bars, but plenty of yahoos hollered their way past at 3 am. One of the reasons I decided not to apply to jobs in Korea's big cities. |
