Q: Do you sleep well?

This may be a one-sided answer due to all the noise in China compared to less populated countries.

I for one do not sleep great most the time as I am a light sleeper.

I certainly sleep better back home in Canada.

 

Also, how the hell can someone sleep lying on top of their motorcycle in the middle of the day, on the side of a busy noisy street.

  I sleep like a baby, thanks for asking, always have done. Once slept through a fire, fire engines, firemen running through the house, I could sleep through the Apocalypse. Got a friend who used to sit on the back of her boyfriend's motorbike while he was doing 120 down the motorway and fall asleep there. In fact I just fell asleep just now, at the end of the last sentence, slept for an hour. Once got on a bus in central London in the middle of the night, closed my eyes at the bottom of Tottenham Court Road, opened them and I was at the top of the road (about 1000 yards) and it was daytime. Totally freaked me out. I'd fallen asleep, gone to the end of the line, come all the way back and just happened to open my eyes on that same road. Y'know, there may be something wrong with me.

I sleep excellently unfortunately my wife doesn't! My snoring has been known to drown out the noise from a Motorhead concert! 

The cure, yellow foam EAR (trademark) earplugs. My wife swears by them, (when she's not swearing at me), I brought a couple of thousand of them with us from the UK.

 

p.s. If you ever come home from the bar a little drunk and want to sneak into bed without your wife noticing how drunk you are, DON'T sneak around the flat and be quiet. Be VERY noisy, and as you're stomping towards the bedroom sing as loud as you can "I'm in the mood for love!!!!" It's amazing what women can sleep through! laugh

I sleep pretty well if:

1. the rooster decides not to crow in the morning

2. dude across the road decides to wait until later than his 6am start time to start jackhammering a concrete slab

3. trucks don't blast their horn through the intersection in the middle of the night

4. empty trucks don't go full speed over the speed bumps (empty trailer makes a godawful noise)

5. neighbors don't stay up late/get up early beating on the walls, blasting music

6. i don't get those random half second phone callers that immediately hang up

 

I need a new apartment.

Chinese are always tired, never thought about this before, but maybe they can't sleep well at night with all the noise.

I figure China is like the wild west cowboy days, anything goes. I can make as much noise as I want because I don't care or even what kind of noise it is, I can drive like a maniac, run lights, drink beer on the street, I just need a gun. But I slept good. Try taking two of them before bedtime.

I generally sleep pretty well (that's why I need at least 3 alarms, separated by 10 minutes intervals, to wake me up in the morning).

 

And if I feel like I can't fall asleep, I bend over and let the blood rush to my head. After that, I  can fall asleep and have a good night's rest.

 

As for the part where people take a nap on their bike next to the road, I guess if you're really tired it can happen.

I think my brain is beginning to block out all the noise. I am sleeping better now, but have yet to see a full 8 hour sleep night. I mostly do 5 hour tops.

Booze is the cure.  You may wake up 5 or 6 hours later but those 6 hours are an awesome deep sleep...until you have to piss.

JungleLife:

Yeah, I hate that. You either have to wake up having to piss, or wake up thirsty as hell.
