My first week, hostel noise felt like a matatu park. People walking up and down the hallway, roommates Tiktok, neighbors laugh...Tried earplugs but with 3am roommate’s phone glow sleeping was almost impossible. Being in new unfamiliar environment also affected my sleep. I Realized sleep isn’t automatic here. Am I the only one?
