The ghost that haunted me!

So, as most of you know that follow this I don't sleep. I don't know what it is, but it all started in 2003 when I moved into my apartment. I would have panic attacks at first and then it was just watching tv during the wee hours of the morning. I guess as age comes I get up to use the restroom. Well, I really only do that because I think if I empty my bladder I will get back to my slumber.

So, for the past few days I have been having even more difficulty sleeping. I don't know if my body is resisting schedules again or if it is Jarrett's snoring. The guy can snore. That said I have been waking up more often. Last night I got up around 3:58 and yes I always look at the clock. I went to the restroom and climbed back into bed. I couldn't fall back asleep right away and the last I saw the clock it said 4:06. At 4:20 I pop up to some kind of noise. Side note: I just moved into a 2100 sq ft. house and have yet to walk around at night with all the lights off. Kind of creepy and partly due to all of my true crime shows that I love.

Back to the noise. I pop up and I say, "Jarrett did you hear that? I think it is coming from the bathroom." Trying to get anyone alert right out of sleep is hard enough, so Jarrett stumbled to the bathroom and opened the door. The hair dryer had turned on. He unplugged it and made sure it was off. Started back to bed and he decided to double check it. Now neither one of us were sure how it happened, but as the great husband that he is he fixed it. Or so I thought. I started my routine of trying to fall asleep and it went off again. So I asked, "What happened I thought you unplugged it?" He said, "I did, but then I plugged it back in." Of course agitated I am wondering why did he do that.

Well, he climbs back into bed and falls right to sleep. So, my mind starts to think, yep another reason why I probably can't sleep, about what would have caused that. I have used a hair dryer for a long time and have never had this happened. I thought you know sometimes he isn't as observant as I am, so I will just go triple check. Good idea right? I walked into the bathroom and that dryer was definitely in the off position.

Needless to say the Ghost Dryer Whisperer will be visiting tonight to make sure all is in check. Hopefully I will get some sleep since I have been up since 4:30. : (
