When Niles and I first moved in together, I wasn’t used to sharing my living space, and I had a really hard time learning to sleep when someone else was always there, breathing and stuff. But now I’m so used to it that while he was gone for all of four days, I had a really hard time falling asleep. I toyed with the idea of creating an ambient noise app that’s the sound of “Boyfriend in the Next Room Playing Video Games” – because then I’d seriously sleep like a baby – which led to the discussion of creating ambient noise apps for Chicago neighborhoods: “Homeless Guy Rummaging Through Dumpster”, “Random Fireworks Going Off At Unexpected Intervals”, “Neighbors Having Sex”, and “Teenage Lovers Arguing in Alley”.
I think you're sauceome.

Aaw. True love.
There’s an app (for Android at least) called Lightning Bug that has all sorts of different sound packs you can install for background noise. I have the “home pack” and when I can’t sleep I just turn on “clothes dryer” for 30 minutes and conk right out! I know they have car horns and alarms, and you can make your own “mix” of sounds. Don’t think they feature “homeless guy rummaging through dumpster”, though!
Aww, you guys really love each other don’t you! :D I guess it’s true, distance really does make the heart fonder. I guess we all don’t realize the value of someone/something until we loose them/it. <3
I’ve been married 28 years. If she’s in the other room, being quiet, I can sleep. If she’s not in the house, but will be later, I can sleep. If she’s far away – I can’t sleep.
Go figure.
I’m so happy you and Niles found each other. You are sauceome together!
