Sleeping with Headphones on in the Dark

Most Stressful Thing Ever

By S.D. TrinityPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Nothing is more stressful than wearing headphones in the dark.

Every shadow enhanced.

Every slide of fabric against your skin makes you jump.

Just as you start to drift off, something subconscious makes you open your eyes

It makes you check your surroundings.

Then you start to think about what you’re listening to

You have questions about everything.

What if this genre is too upbeat and I won’t go to sleep?

What if the next song is really loud?

A million questions about life and everything in it.

Then you start to fall asleep.

You’re almost there…

Just a little more…

The song ends… and the next one doesn’t play.

You turn over…

Your phone's dead.

Good luck sleeping tonight!
