COLOUR ME SLEEPY

I held out for a long time, but finally I succumbed and have gone the way of the iPhone. True, for the first few days it did take about 35 minutes to type out one short sentence, but nearly a fortnight in and I'm even writing this copy on my sleek little beauty. I'm not saying it's the best phone I've ever had, but I appear to be hooked anyway. It was the Apps that first got me, and App of the moment is White Noise, which is a comprehensive catalogue of sounds to lull one to sleep. Since I've been insomniac pretty much from childhood on, I'm grateful for anything that takes the stress out of those lonely wakeful hours, and even more ecstatic to find something that actually sends me off on mornings when I wake unhelpfully at two , three or four. My nightime noises of choice: Camp Fire and Heavy Rain; others include vacuuming (well, it always sent my daughter straight to sleep when she was a baby), beachy waves, frogs at night and 35 others.

And do you know? I rather feel an App coming on myself - but not one, I hasten to add, intended to send you to sleep!
