You'd think they'd try to keep things calm and quiet at night in places like nursing homes so people can sleep, wouldn't you? Well, in my experience here, that's not particularly what happens.
Most nights here, well into the morning hours, I hear television shows, movies, or music. It might come from residents' rooms, I don't know, but it's clear. I also hear talking and laughter from aides. I hear that because the door to my room is open. They even block my door open, presumably so they can get in here quickly if they need to-- but that also lets the light from the hallway in. I block it with my pillow.
I can't say all that keeps me awake, but I do look forward to my own home and quiet. dark nights.
