Local Betoota woman, Ashley Crawford was pleasantly surprised to hear the sound of pitter patter on her bedroom window for her weekly arvo nap last Saturday. 

Ashley couldn’t believe her luck at the gentle rain sounds that aided her drifting off into a glorious sleep. After spending the majority of the day hungover binge watching Euphoria season 3 and eating her half doner kebab from the night before, she was ready to regain her energy with an afternoon nap. 

“When I looked outside and saw the clouds, I was like let’s fucking go,” Ashley told our reporter. 

What usually takes Ashley 5-10 minutes to get to full sleep mode, took just under 2 minutes with the relaxing sound of rain. 

“It was like one of those 6 hours get me to sleep YouTube videos, like I think I even heard the soft sound of thunder in the background too!” 

“The only thing better than napping to rain is napping after a swim on a holiday, now that’s a whole other deep sleep,” Ashley explained. 

When Ashley woke from her slumber she knew it was a fucking good nap due to the pillow marks on her face as her inability to identify what year it was. 

When Ashley rolled over and checked her phone she was glad to see it was still the same year as it was before she fell asleep, what a win. 

“Now I look up BOM before I think about dozing off, I’ll try time it just as the weather starts picking up,” 

“It’s not very reliable but when it works, it fucking works.”
