#and occassionally being startled by crashing or screaming etc

I also started hearing things again too, which is okay - I have loud periods and quiet periods (and the beginning of a new period always feels a bit strange. both adjusting to the loudness and the quietness takes a bit of getting used to each time)

when I’m trying to sleep at the moment I’m hearing sports commentary from the other room (I’ve confirmed with my partner that there’s nothing there), but muffled so I can’t hear the words - just the cadence and the cheering

(even though I can’t hear the words it’s very unmistakably sports commentary with a crowd in the background. like the excited urgency when a team is going to score a goal that sometimes crescendos into a cheer, etc)

for the first week or so I really couldn’t sleep, but now I kind of look forward to going to bed so I can fall asleep to distant/muffled sports commentary.
