Wow! I slept for my first night home from prison finally! It's such a weird experience! I slept to a blackout level I never thought possible. In prison the bunk is steel and only covered by a tiny mat - so your back hurts like crazy all night. The noise level is a constant 40-60 decibles; more if the inmates are tweaking out on meth or smoking K2. Because it's prison, everything is concrete so the acoustics make everything louder and echo. There's a thing I call "KeyTSD", the stress of the jingling of 🗝️ key rings on officers, who walk around every 30 minutes and shine a freaking 🔦 flashlight in your face. The temperature is always just one level above the subarctic, but they give you ineffective blanketing. I am always frozen to the bone. Because I wake up so frequently, I usually get up to pee like 2-3 times per night. In the 4 years I spent as Joe Biden's Hostage, I slept 0 Nights thoroughly. Not one night. You can't sleep properly in jail/prison. I woke up in a quiet room, on a comfy mattress, no steel bunk, with carpet underfoot. It was disorienting as hell. I couldn't walk straight. I felt drugged, I was so groggy. It's great to be home but this is going to be an adjustment. Now! For some real coffee!!! ☕ 🇺🇲
