Sound effects! I need them to sleep!  

I used to fall asleep with the tv on or some other noises. Now, even though I'm a deep sleeper, I don't like sleeping with noises.

you can buy white noise machines but they seem to be hard to come by. when i was in the hospital, i had a mini radio that i used all night which was put on a station with just static. at home however, i like things quiet.
have you looked on ebay for one?

I can sllep anywhere and with what ever noise. If I need sleep it doesn't matter if there is noise or no noise. I often fall asleep in front of the telly. But when I go to bed it is so very quite.
In the past I have fallen asleep at many parties, on a old bus on the way home from a concert.

I also have to have a fan going no matter the temperature. I need the noise. My youngest daughter is the same way so she knows to have a fan ready for me and I do the same when she comes here. I have been places where I have no fan and the least little noise wakes me up. Also during the night if there is a power outage I am wide awake as soon as my fan goes off.

I know exactly what you mean! Normally I sleep with the television on but I prefer just having a fan. If I'm asleep and the tv goes off then I wake up almost instantly. Is something wrong with me for needing noise to sleep?

I use a fan too, I also have the t.v. on, I can't sleep without one or the other or both .

I can sleep anywhere, whether noisy or not. I also have my fan turned on when sleeping but I turn it off when i feel cold. Close your eyes, try to imagine that you are listening to white noise, and now you can sleep well... =)

I've had asthma ever since I can remember, and when I was little I couldn't breathe at night unless I had a fan on my face. Because of this, I need to feel air moving on my face or it feels like I can't breathe (even though my asthma is much calmer than it used to be). I am a heavy sleeper, and can sleep almost anywhere (I love sleep), so now I can sleep no matter what. I still prefer a fan though, and I fall asleep REALLY fast when the TV is on.

If I need to drown out annoying sounds that keep me awake I also use a fan but if all is quiet and its dark in the room and outside I prefer the quiet.

Oh yes I do jillhill. I need my tv on. The volume has to be a certain level, not loud but very low. It's just having the tv on that makes me feel better. I believe this is because I used to be afraid of the dark when I was a little girl so as a 40-year old woman, I still can't sleep in the dark. I know a punk I am right,lol!
