Have you been awakened just after 4 in the morning by the clamorous dong-dong-dong of a light rail horn? Is living near the Regional Transit train tracks an almost-never-ending nightmare, except for when it briefly ends for three to four of the weest of wee hours? Is chronic lack of sleep causing you to regret every harebrained choice that led you to your current home?

The Sacramento Bee is in search of our tired, our worn, our frazzled masses yearning to sleep free. We want to hear from you about the loudness of the train and how the noise has affected your poor, shot nerves.
