Since the first time the dentist stuck my gums with one of those Novocain needles, I’ve become an enthusiastic about my dental hygiene. I’ve got an electric toothbrush, which, through its vibrating, makes my teeth cleaner than any old-fashioned hand operated one ever could, or at least, presents that illusion, because it's "electric". I keep the toothbrush in my room, because, due to my suitemates, the bathroom I use smells like pot. Like most electric things, when you plug it in, the toothbrush has a flashing light that tells you “I am charging!” Lately, I’ve had a problem with the toothbrush; at night, my room is dark except for its flashing charging light. I recklessly throw some pillow over it, but then I worry that my pillow will get wet or toothpasty or something. It seems like one of those things that makes me sound like an idiot, but is true nonetheless: my toothbrush is keeping me awake.

I like my electric toothbrush. Just don't take it out of your mouth when it's still on. Otherwise you get sprayed in the face with saliva toothpaste mist. Envigoratingly disgusting.
Perhaps a tiny venetian blind would keep the light from bothering you at night. Its better to be an insomniac with good teeth, than well rested and buying dentu-grip at the drug store.
