Today's Questions:

What’s your favorite sound to wake up to in the morning? I'm not generally a morning person, so I'd prefer to hear NO sound when I first wake up. However, if I happen to be in a tent at a campground, I love the sounds of the birds singing just before dawn, and the muffled sounds of other campers starting their campfires and cooking their breakfasts.

What’s the last sound that woke you up and had you looking for something to throw? That alarm clock of mine!

Bonus Questions:
Are you a ‘morning person'? Haha - See above. No morning person in this household!

If you’re not, do you or have you ever lived with one? Nope.

Do you like to fall asleep to
TV?
Radio?
The sounds of nature?
Silence?
I use a white noise machine. If I'm camping, I love the sounds of nature at night.

When you’re sleeping, do you prefer
Total darkness?
Night lights?

When you have trouble falling asleep, is there anything special you do to help? I occasionally take a generic version of Tylenol PM, but not very often. Those usually do a pretty good job of knocking me out.

Just for Fun:
Use the ‘Word of the Day’ in a sentence. I enjoy learning the Word of the Day each day.

Today in History:
1605 - Gunpowder Plot; Catholics try to blow up English Parliament. Plot uncovered and leader Guy Fawkes hanged From thence came the first use of the phrase, WTF?
1639 - 1st post office in the colonies is set up in Massachusetts And the first letter was lost on November 6, 1639.
1872 - Susan B. Anthony fined for trying to vote
1895 - George Selden patents 1st gasoline-driven car
2006 - Saddam Hussein sentenced to death by hanging by an Iraqi court Git 'er done!

Word of the Day:
Nonsense \ˈnän-ˌsen(t)s, ˈnän(t)-sən(t)s\ Noun
1. words or language having no meaning or conveying no intelligible ideas
2. language, conduct, or an idea that is absurd or contrary to good sense; an instance of absurd action
That's utter nonsense!

Either silence or birds singing.

Just made sure her bedroom door was shut.

Drink a warm glass of milk or watch some TV on the rare occasions I have trouble falling asleep.
