Then I just simply try to sleep. The vampire can damage you (with bite or buzz) just coming close to your face, that make them pretty noisier 90% of the time and hearable a couple of seconds before landing. By instinct I quickly use a hand to smash them. The point will be pretty exact, there will be lot less air movement (so they don't slide away) and the impact with the ear (usually) will be softened by the cover. And you can come back to sleep easily 😁 | |

| Jun 24, 2015 at 8:47 | comment | added | Ido_Naveh | I don't know about finding it. I just cover my ear with the blanket, so I won't hear it any more. | |
