white noise??|pad patter

I've slept with a fan on in my bedroom since I was 12. My children have slept with fans on in their bedrooms since birth.

Silence
And now that song is in my head!
I don't like any noise at all. When I was younger, I would have a tv or something going, but not now. DH likes to have his iPad playing a movie or audio book when he goes to bed, so I either have to go to bed before him and be asleep when he gets there or after him and turn it off lol I cannot sleep if there's noise.

 

Oh, Anne, I HAVE to have an overhead fan! I also have a sound machine that I use every night and it has white noise on it. I take it anytime I have to travel, too. "Have noise machine, will travel".

 

Insomnia was a luxury of my pre-kid self. Now I can sleep anywhere and anytime within minutes. I don't mind noises.
For my daughter, since she was 6 mo (now she's 3 yo) we use a "Twinkling Lights Crib Rail Soother" with music, white noise & nature sounds (she prefers music or nature), and if I forget to turn it on and she's not super tired, she has trouble falling asleep.

 

We have a fan on all year round too, in Winter I aim it away from me.
It sure does make the sounds of hubby snoring easier to contend with.
Here's to another great night's sleep.

White noise and blockout curtaining.

 

I thought it was brilliant when Brody asked Alexa to play lullabies to fall asleep to. I never would have thought of that! I have her play ocean sounds or nature sounds. Those are my favorites. Also, I usually have the TV or an audiobook playing.

 

Overhead fan, standing fan in the corner, summertime have a little desktop fan next to my bed AND a white noise machine playing ocean waves all night.

The multiple fans started at about age 50

 

I have ringing in my ears that is heightened by silence - I love summer when we have the excuse to have the fan on all night. My husband likes silence although he falls asleep in minutes...sigh.
I listen to podcasts to fall asleep to now - that seems to do the trick...

 

I'm not good with noises to sleep also, I prefer silence.
right now, the wind's whistle is so loud in my windows, this is going to be a long night...lol

 

Silence. I need silence and absolute darkness to sleep. We have a grouping of portable school classrooms behind our house that run the hvac 24/7, and they keep me up. So, it's earplugs and a face mask for me.

 

Yes! This, too!!

 

Silence and dark. My hubby likes to watch something on his Kindle in bed but he uses earphones. I just roll over and cover my head to block the Kindle light. But for the last 6 months or so, he has been staying up later than me, so I get to sleep until he comes to bed.

 

ME EITHER!!!! I do like it when hubster isn't snoring- and just his normal breathing for a few minutes puts me to sleep. Can't usually sleep well if he is not there- too many years! Ahhh yes, the sounds of silence!

 

My hubby MUST have a fan on. I've gotten used to it...but I'm fine with nothing.

 

the sound of silence! it must be absolutely quiet

 

I have a hard time falling asleep without the tv on, turned low so I can just barely hear the voices. I usually put on the cooking channel or comedy channel, close my eyes and listen for 10 or 20 min until I fall asleep.

 

I used to sleep with a fan on when I lived across the street from a bar. Now, it's nothing, but I would have LOVED a noise machine for our recent trip. I might look into that if we ever travel again.

 

Hmmm... I have a fan, but it doesn't make much noise, just the ceiling version. No other noise. I need it cooler and dark to fall asleep.

 

just peace and quiet for me too
