My sleep difficulties are more pronounced in the summer than winter…

Kay's Science: I did my best to try and program some sleep dialogue into my night time…

I am sure this is due to the constant stream of noise emitted by the AC units and refrigerator in my apartment, raising my brains waves to a state of mental alertness, especially the refrigerator.   It has been a real problem even during the winter in which I use an oil filled radiator to heat my apartment. 

This habit started in my youth when we slept with a fan in our bedroom during the summer due to lack of AC and was exacerbated during my imprisonment although I was on medication.  Operant conditioning, habituation.   I had not had this problem from 1982 – 1986.  In 1983 I had a bout of paranoia that forced me to relocate.
