So, I&#8217;m going to make a vague promise about posting a full write-up later and then I&#8217;m going to ask you a not-so-hypothetical question.<\/p>\n<p>What would you do if you could hear your boyfriend snoring <i>all the way at other end of the apartment<\/i> and you knew that it was going to keep you up all night? Let&#8217;s also say that you accidentally took a two hour nap that afternoon, so you were already pre-disposed towards having a hard time falling asleep. Would you:<\/p>\n<p>a) Go to bed, listen to him snore until you finally drifted off in exhausted, grumpy sleep?<br \/>\nb) Take some Nyquil, go to bed and listen to him snore until you fell into exhausted, drug-induced sleep?<\/p>\n<p>-or-<\/p>\n<p>3) Grab a pillow and a sleeping bag and go sleep on the couch?<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of argument, let&#8217;s say that you&#8217;re not very good at unfolding the couch yourself. And that you are back from a marathon recording session in VT and more than a little exhausted. And that you really should have gone to bed about an hour ago. And the snores are getting louder.<\/p>\n<p>I really need to invest in some earplugs.<\/p>\n<p>(Daydreaming about finally closing on the house and then having a real, honest-to-god, guest room)<\/p>\n<p>(That I could wake Kristian up and make <i>him<\/i> sleep in)<\/p>\n<p>(What?
