Can anyone here manage it?
There was a corking thunderstorm in progress last night when I went to bed -
I counted 14 flashes in a single minute. Despite the near-continuous muted
rumblings (muted that is by the rain drumming on the roof) I had no trouble
at all falling asleep... whereas the usual noises of early autumn (car doors
slamming, kids yelling etc) cause much more of a problem!

Then again I did spend a good 10 minutes watching the show before I tried
sleeping, it was fascinating to watch!
