That's the country of my dreams!

Seriously though, people should understand that night is for sleeping and walls do not offer perfect sound insulation. Everything you do can be heard and can disturb someones sleep. I struggle with this all my life.

The problem is that lack of sleep is almost a badge of honor these days. Saying you need sleep makes you sound fussy/weak, when it's virtually as important as needing to drink or breath.

We should be protecting sleep quality like we protect water quality...which I guess considering how bad the water is in certain parts, may not be the best analogy.

Or on a Sunday... :) Although the washing machine/dryer are usually in a utility room in the basement, shared between everyone in the building, which makes it a bit harder to just turn on.
