I will sell my soul for a night's sleep

That's all I want. One night of uninterrupted sleep.
Three nights ago it was the dogs.
Two nights ago it was sis and the boyfriend having a blazing row in the middle of the night.
Last night it was sis pounding on the sodding walls because she was sick and wanted Mum. Who, naturally, slept through it until sis forced me to wake her up.
Now...I get it. If you're in pain, it's natural that you're not thinking quite rationally. And without sleep, I'm probably not thinking entirely rationally. But goddamn it, if you're that sick you call 999. You don't drag a 70 year old woman out of bed just because you want a hug. And she couldn't have been that sick because Mum didn't call 999.
One more night without sleep and I swear I'm gonna kill someone. I'll be able to plead temporary insanity.
One night. Is that so much to ask?
