- stevekemp 3y agoI grew up living next to a convent, and the nuns who lived there had a bell that would be rung every hour. After moving away from that house I would sleep incredibly badly, and I always wondered if I was waking throughout the night "surprised" at the absence of the bell, which I'd otherwise heard every day of my life.
