I need the noise generator (I have it as rain) because of all the noise outside. Mostly traffic but there are also a lot of bad dogs in the neighborhood (barkers)
I alway end up waking up in the middle of the night no matter the time i get to sleep.
Go to sleep at 9? wake up at 1am toss and turn for an hour then sometimes fall back asleep.
I can no longer sleep without a fan. If Air isn't moving, then I feel uncomfortable. Visited my dad once in early spring a few years back. There was still snow on the ground and it couldn't have been warmer than 50 degrees in the house but his house is older and doesn't have ceiling fans. The air was stifling.
I'm an artist, I usually prefer to work at night with the lights on.
When I go to bed at the crack of dawn I'll open my bedroom windows (fresh air) and keep one curtain closed so the sunlight doesn't beam down on my face when I'm sleeping.
As for background noise, I'll put on some Youtube videos, my go to YouTubers are Vargskelethor, Dunkey and Oneyplays,
Man, I sleep like a corpse (arms crossed ad all that). So, as a heavy sleeper, not much bothers me. As long as I'm confortable temperature wise, only my blatter can wake me from slumber.
