Sure who needs to sleep? (You do. You really need to sleep.)

IT’S BEEN RINGING FOR EXACTLY THREE MINUTES. HOW CAN YOU NOT HEAR IT.

2. You often request that people turn the TV down, like an auld granny

Look. It’s just the way you are. Vincent Browne roaring two rooms away is not conducive to a peaceful sleep.

3. And you are very put out by errant chinks of light

Accidentally left a gap in the curtains? That’s you wide awake at 6am, so.

4. You wonder what it must be like to be able to fall asleep anywhere

Imagine actually sleeping on a plane! Imagine it!

5. Sleeping in a different room is a dangerous game for you
