Sounds of the psych unit at night

A/C
snoring
ring binders of med charts snapping open and closed
muttering
jangling keys of the staff
shuffling feet of the patients

I came up with the title of a mongraph, but I don't want to write it. I just like the title: On decreased muscle tone in the lower extremities of psychiatric patients, or Why the mentally ill shuffle when they walk
