Top 5 Things That Keep City Dwellers Awake In The Night
I live in Upstate, New York. Surrounded by woods and the occasional light of the full moon. Most nights I hear owls, frogs and assorted animals foraging through my backyard. Ahh quiet and tranquil.
So pretty much nothing wakes me up except for an occasional thunderstorm, bad dream or my wifes feet, kicking about.
But for many of our readers that isn’t the case, because many of you live in the big city, or a bustling suburb. So this list is for you folks that don’t have the luxury of still white noise and fresh air blowing in through the bedroom window.
I used to live in the big city and this was one of the reasons I wanted to move and never look back.
1. Police, Fire Truck and Ambulance Alarms/Sirens
2. Neighbors Arguing/Fighting or Having Sex. Or Having sex after fighting.
3. Drunks, Bars letting Out At 2, 3 or4am
4. Neighbors Babies Crying
5. Cockroaches
So does this ring any bells for you city peeps???

I may not be in the US but I also live in a large city in the Philippines. I could relate to all of these. The filthy cockroaches are so ewwwwwwwww! Just hate them!
Let me add one based on my experience, children playing outside with boisterous laughs causing a loud irritating noise! Ohhh.. I forgot to tell you I actually sleep during day time. So there you have it.
I don’t live way out in the country but at least far enough from big city life to make it quite pleasant. I could never handle living in the the city.
