First off, Tonya and Wolfsoul, I am so sorry about your experiences, but admire the courage it takes to mention your experiences so that others can learn and/or do not feel alone.

I'm also an in the closet PTer. Only the hubby knows (I hope) and he thinks it's weird.

I cannot fall asleep unless I am wearing ear plugs and my knit cap to block out any morning light. Seriously, it ain't pretty. Hubby refers to me as a homeless person in the mornings. He ain't far off.

Bettie LOVES the earplugs. They are her favorite toys. Sometimes I wake up to her with her snout under my cap and in my ear!!
