Asleep Awake Bedroom Clock Cotton Dressing Ears Gown Husband Mouth Noise Sleep Sleeping Snore Snoring Wool
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1960s, a woman sits up in her bed, her expression a mix of frustration and exhaustion. The room is dimly lit, and the only sound is the rhythmic snoring emanating from her husband, lying asleep next to her. The woman wears a worn dressing gown and her hair is disheveled, suggesting that she has been awake for hours. In her hands, she cradles a ball of cotton wool, which she has stuffed into her ears in a desperate attempt to drown out the noise. The clock on the bedside table reads an early hour, indicating that it is still the middle of the night. The man, fast asleep, lies on his back with his mouth open, his chest rising and falling in deep, even breaths. The contrast between their positions is stark: she is awake and restless, while he is oblivious to her suffering. This poignant image captures the universal experience of sleeping next to a snoring partner and the struggle to find peace and quiet in the midst of the noise. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the challenges that come with sharing a bed and the importance of finding ways to communicate and find solutions to common problems in relationships. The 1960s may be long gone, but the struggles of this woman and her snoring husband continue to resonate with audiences today.
