Sound Asleep

Sleep’s a wonderful thing, wouldn’t you agree? ? Everyone loves to fall into a deep slumber and wake up feeling completely refreshed and full of life! ? The average person spends one third of their life sleeping… That’s roughly 194,820 hours! ? While it varies from person to person, a sound louder than forty decibels is more than enough to keep someone awake. ? However, once the subject is asleep, it can take more than sixty decibels to wake them up. ? This is just louder than a dish washer or dryer running if you were seated next to it. ? Luckily, most things aren’t that loud, such as a human footstep! ? If you were lying down and someone stepped right past you, it would reach about twenty decibels! ? Or a tapping on your windows, reaching just ten decibels! ? Especially something like a blade being drawn from a sheath, reaching just seventeen decibels! ? Oh, I’m rambling, anyway, sweet dreams!
