I do hope I ain't boring anyone, and am putting the day number in the header
so people who are bored needn't read my reports.

First off I would like to say when I am doing my "experiment" I am lying in
my king-sized bed :) with no noise at all - it is quiet where we live.  As
it is so quiet, and because I lie on my left side I put in my right hearing
aid - not really sure if that helps as there is nothing to hear!   Due to
being prone to a neck muscle spasm on my left side, I have not lain that way
for a very long time, because if the muscle goes into a spasm it is so
painful that I have great difficulty rising up to a sitting position to
enable me to try and get rid of the spasm.  So, I always use two pillows to
tuck in the hollow between my neck and chin, and always take great care when
I lie on my left side.

Sunday, Day 3:  I woke up at just after 7.35 and the noise was really loud
and very harsh - a solid racket!   I had a black coffee, and went to the
bathroom, then decided that as the noise was so bad I had better have my
breakfast before attempting to get rid of it.   About 9 am I lay on my  left
side, and with my usual positive attitude, thought NO WAY am I going to get
rid of this harsh, loud, solid sound!   9.10 and I am comfortable, and a
sudden change - it didn't suddenly go quiet, but the harshness went. At 9.16
the noise started to fade away.  When it got to 9.30 I was afraid I might
fall asleep, so I turned over and lit a cigarette. ( I know, I know - I
shouldn't smoke, and most especially in bed!).  All that remained was a very
slight sound on my right side.  I always find if I have T more on the right
side it is tolerable compared with the left (everything about me is much
worse on my left side!)  so I was mulling over whether to bother to try and
get rid of that.   I suppose it was partly knowing I was coming on here to
report, and I like to report a success, and also silence is golden, that I
thought I would have another 10 minute try on my left side.  I didn't think
it had made much difference as there was a slight noise, but hardly
discernible, so I arose not wanting to risk falling asleep as it was now 10
am.   As I sit here typing this, I can't hear anything except my computer,
so I am now looking forward to reading my Sunday broadsheets in peace.
