R. E. M. Precipitation

I sleep on the second floor.
My bedroom is at the back of the house. Facing south.
Outside and below my window is a roof of tough weatherproof plastic and aluminium.
It covers a patio/deck type thingy in the back of the house.

I never sleep better than when it rains.
The sound of droplets of water crashing into that roof outside my window is...
Soothing, calming, relaxing, percussive.
Waking up the next day is almost a disappointment.
