Well, it took until midnight but I DID fall asleep last night and slept until 6 this morning
Diana, caffiene really affects me too. If I have any caffiene after about 7:00, I am awake all night. So in the evenings I only drink Sleepytime tea - it has no caffiene and has herbs that are supposed to make you fall asleep. It actually does work almost every time!
That is weird about the bar of soap! I haven't heard that one before!
I would be nervous too about things being stolen. It bothers me when people wander around my house, especially if I don't know them well.
I hope everyone on the East coast is staying safe!
