If there’s one thing local woman Laura Knapton can count on, it’s hearing the soothing sound of a freight train that signals her boyfriend has fallen asleep.
A feat he’s seemingly able to manage within seconds of hitting the pillow.
Though annoying on any given day, considering it severely impacted the quality of her sleep, Laura is used to hearing disruptive noises at all hours – whether he’s snoring or watching the same annoying Tik Tok video multiple times at max volume.
However, Tim’s ability to immediately descend into REM sleep isn’t only annoying but incredibly insulting, given how wired Lauren feels after working a split shift.
Like when he dozed off as she began detailing a pretty full-on thing that her mate did in the group chat today, which has left her kind of confused and shocked about what she thought was a rock solid….
With a heavy sigh, it was apparent he drifted off to the sleep kingdom in what must have been seconds rather than minutes.
And it appears no amount of aggressive shoving can keep him rolled over on his side, causing the snores to grow louder and deeper with each passing minute.
Staring in bewilderment at Tim’s magical ability to fall asleep so quickly, Laura finds herself briefly entertaining the intrusive thoughts of what to do with that stupid second pillow he insists on having in the bed.
Sighing as she wonders if it’s even humanly possible to fall into a deep sleep that quickly, Laura gives her pillow one last exaggerated wack before resuming her position staring at the ceiling.
More to come.
