flickering lightthin walls
The room was quite compact. A flickering light in the bathroom was also annoying. Soundproofing was not great . I could hear every word from the adjacent room. The porch light shone brightly through gaps in the door , and the blinds did little to block it , so I had trouble sleeping.
