Sleepless in ABQ, part two

Crashed early last night after preparing the room so I could sleep in this morning: curtains tightly drawn, laptop charger unplugged (it has a very bright blue LED), clock-radio backlight off. All to no avail: the fire alarm sounded at 5 AM.

It cleared a couple of minutes later but the damage was done. So I dug in my backpack for the fabric eye mask (courtesy of Air France; other overseas carriers provide uncomfortable plastic eye masks) and tried unsuccessfully for a little more sleep.

(This will segue into the next posting...)
