I run a fan at night. Habit I picked up from an old girlfriend. She couldn't sleep without it and now I can't either. Thing is so loud, I can't hear anything else at all.

AND YOU DIDN'T LIKE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY?!?

That whole movie was about creepy as fuck sounds around the house!

But no, my house never freaks me out. It would though if I ever heard a mouse or rat crawling around the walls. That would freak me out big time.

I heard that once in my old townhouse. Some rodent got stuck in the wall, right above my bed's headboard. He was trying to eat his way out but I guess he died first. Luckily, because all I could think of was I'd be lying asleep and he'd eat a hole in the wall and drop on my face.

I hate hotel A/C sounds! I turn it off to sleep. It just dries me out. If I can open a window I do that instead. I can sleep through city traffic especially at height (Las Vegas).
I find light irritating. Hard to sleep to tv. . . .

I would love that every night.

we used to hear rats in the roof
never bothered me that much, we set rat traps up in there when we got around to it and they haven't been back since

I always sleep with a fan on, so unless something's really loud I don't hear it.

would it work if you had a radio tuned out so it's just white noise? would take up less electricity

ZombieKitten said:

I've tried just white noise, but I think I need the extra circulation from the fan as well. I've never slept well without one.

HobbesLeCute said:

wow

ZombieKitten said:

My wife has always needed a fan to sleep, too. I'm always freezing in the winter. What am I gonna do? Argue about it? I know better. I just thaw out my testicles with a hairdryer in the morning and go about my business.

squirrelgrease said:

have you tried hairdryer all night instead? just trying to help

ZombieKitten said:

both

I think the old lady upstairs just moaned in her sleep or something. Holy shit did it ever scare me!

Imago said:

it doesn't??!! does that mean someone or someTHING is making the noises then??!!

squirrelgrease said:

you could even have it aimed in the general crotch direction the whole time!

ZombieKitten said:

How do you explain a burnt wang to a doctor?

squirrelgrease said:

there's a warm setting, you don't have to have it on HOT, and if you have a fancy one every now and then use cold blast actually you might just wanna try it anyway, like during the day even!

I wish I could lay in bed in silence, but I can't. That's the price I pay for living in the city.

ZombieKitten said:

Is there a fluff setting?

squirrelgrease said:

does fluff also mean fart over there? I think you've just stumbled upon a brilliant invention! the fluff diffuser, simply blow that bad air away!

Yup, my house creaks all f***ing night.

ZombieKitten said:

My wife calls farts "fluffs". Maybe it's a girl thing.

@ the fluff diffuser.

Not at home ever, then I get again I am never alone. Hubby on one side, 4 kids in their rooms, and my elderly aunt in her room.
But, I do work late at night many times, and the building I work in is a historical building, about 100 years old...yeah..it makes creepy, creeky, cooky, shrieky, sounds at night. Sometimes you hear voices, freaks me out but I am use to it by now.
