The problem with them is that they make these awful noises that's known as "ticking". Every night when I go to sleep, I have to have absolute silence, because I am so sensitive to noise and sound. So it always kept me awake until I came up with a brilliance idea of hiding the clocks in the closet.

Then the problem started when I wake up every morning/afternoon/night when I have absolutely no idea what time it is. I try to guess from the shade on the window, but usually just forget about it and go back to sleep... All these make my sense of time even further away from my normal life.

I guess an electronic clock will be the second part of the master plan, but it have to be the kind that doesn't glow in the dark...

Every minute I am more convinced that I am more insane than the previous minute...

Quartz clocks tick? Huh? I've never in my life had a quart clock tick. The watch I'm wearing right now has a quartz crystal in it and it's not ticking. Or do you mean analog clocks? They sometimes tick. The one in my room at home ticks. Digital clocks (which is what quartz clocks are) usually don't tick. I haven't met any that have. I think you haven't been getting enough sleep, Ken.
