I think that the slient life is making you think about a lot of things going on. I would be going nuts if it were me. My dad had a house in the country. A nice home, but nothing there. I went nuts there. You could try reading some books if they have a library there. A very boring book can make you fall a sleep. Maybe you need some type of noise when you sleep. Like me, I always need a fan on, just bc of the noise. My bf needs the tv on. You could try something like that. I've got to tell you that your doing really well considering everything you just went threw.
