Is it normal to have to sleep with noise

When i sleep i can't sleep in the silence, i sleep with the TV or the radio on. I've tried going to sleep in silence but i just can't do it.
Is it normal?

    Yes. I pretty much live alone and absolute silence is creepy. I sleep with the tv and my fan on.

    I do this ever since i had a traumatic experience... Cant sleep without any noise, must be the fan, the computer, music, nature sounds, white noise, an audio book, etc...

  • Hopefully, for the sake of your survival, you and I will never have to live in the same house.

    Get a sound machine. They are the best and I cannot sleep without mine. Also, there are some great apps for "white noise" type sounds.

    The TV fucks with my dreams. I don't like it on at all. I can sleep with the fan on but I usually wake up congested. A little light music is preferred.

    I need the fan on also. Even if it's cold.

    You should buy books on tape, you know, you could educate yourself while sleeping!

    Me too. I gotta sleep with the tv on but sometimes my boyfriend makes me shut it off so I'll just put on the fan. Silence drives me nuts.

    I have to sleep with a fan on. Can't sleep with out it. If there isn't any noise I wake up every 5 minutes.
