I could hear the strong wind outside my 11th floor NYC hotel room as I prepared to go to bed. I liked the sound. It was like the sound of the rain, which I love to sleep to. So I went to sleep. It got cold though, so I woke up several times during the night. Eventually I realized that the heat was off… so i turned it on. That helps a lot.
In the early morning I couldn’t sleep very late because of the sound of the cars outside the building, so I got out of bed and started working. It was a bit loud, and it was much colder the room than I thought was reasonable. But I wore warm clothing and kept working. It wasn’t until later that morning that I realized that the window was open! Hence the unusual level of noise and cold throughout the night…
