There was a night before an exam when I couldn’t fall asleep and stayed awake the whole night. I was physically tired but mentally active so I heard a lot of sounds during the whole night. When I first lay in bed, I could hear my roommates tossing and turning and the moving of the bed. There was also some whispering from afar. And someone upstairs is flushing the toilet. I could also hear the sound of the pages turning and the rustling of the pens against the paper. I tried to fall asleep but I couldn’t, all I heard were my breathing, my heart pounding, and doors shutting outside. There was constantly the sound of things dropping. I was still wide awake and I even heard the sound of the chicken. There was then the clatter of chairs and people’s voices. At last, my alarm went off the teacher told us to get up so I get out of my bed.
Besides recording the actual sound of what I heard, I also hope to manipulate the instruments to create a muffled sound to show how unconscious my mind was. I was really mentally excited at first, but I gradually became exhausted because I couldn’t fall asleep. And I also want to highlight the last alarm part.
