I lived in the city for almost thirty years - but moved to the country after marrying DH. And for like the first SIX MONTHS, it would take me hours to fall asleep. It was just TOO quiet.

But then I got used to it - and now being in places like New York - every noise wakes me. Curse the man who invented that backing up beeper thing on the bin lorries! Even eight floors up we could hear it!

PS: I see that you and I share a fondness for exclamation marks. I knew I liked you.
