Even though it's the winter time, I turn my fan on while I sleep, but only for the sake of the noise. I find it relaxing.
It has to be certain kinds of noises though. Noises from people while I'm trying to sleep drive me crazy. The TV and everything else that can be controlled doesn't count.
I actually get scared when its completely silent even in the day. In the night i cant go to sleep unless there is some nose like the ceiling fan.
Normal. I used to use a fan until I found a white noise machine. Now I use that to go to sleep with every night. I don't understand how some people can sleep in silence.
A white noise machine? As in ghosts? Come to think of it, I should probably but some sort of machine like that, because it may be cheaper on electricity than running the fan all night.
I hear a constant ringing in my ears and I like to dilute the sound a little bit.
White noise is constant, repetitive yet soothing background noise. A fan is a great example, as is static on the TV. A white noise machine generates white noise for you. It may also have settings for different types of noises. Mine does. It has settings for ocean noises, crickets, rain (my favorite), and waterfall.
Ringing in your ears? Sounds like you have tinnitus. You might want to get it checked out if it's bothering you.
Totally normal... like squirrelgirl said, they even manufacture "white noise" machines for the benefit of those who have a hard time sleeping in silence.
I also have tinnitus, and like you I keep a fan running all night, every night. Maybe I should look into getting a "white noise" machine myself?
It's very normal; I have to sleep with the TV, loud music, fan, whatever. I love noise! It calms me down.
I sleep with my fan on every night, too. Even in the winter. It's totally normal. I can't sleep with silence because it feels totally empty with no noises to keep me.
I have bilateral tinnitus, so even when it's completely silent, I hear a constant ringing in my ears, but I hate it, and I prefer to run the fan too. It gets loud when it's silent. But even when I was younger, I preferred running the fan or something as opposed to silence.
