Tiny beds

For the past six weeks, Carla and I have been sleeping together on a single bed. I don't mean ONE bed, but a SINGLE bed. As in, big enough for only person! As you can imagine, I have not been having great sleeps, though they are better than when each of us slept on a separate single bed.

There are several reasons for my bad sleeps, not all of them due to the bed. For one, this neighborhood is really noisy. Nearby grocery store gets deliveries at wee hours, trains pass by in the middle of the night and create an incredibly jarring noise. Then there are the birds, the roommates (one of which was banging a ball against the floor at 2:30am!), and the construction on the street.

The part where the size of the bed comes into play is that there is no room to move. When one of us tries to turn, the other one has to turn too. I have woken up in the middle of the night quite a few times to find myself right on the edge of the bed. If there was a fan on in the room, it probably would have tipped me over and I would have landed on the floor! Dangerous! :-)

Still, even with all these troubles, it is still better to share a bed than sleep by yourself. In a couple of days, we will be sharing a double bed in our new apartment. I am looking forward to that!
