Sound Sleeper or Need Sound Machine?


I wish I wasn't addicted,
addicted to sound- that is, when I'm sleeping.
I wish I could be a "sound sleeper" but instead I need a sound or constant white noise to help me sleep.

For years I used a fan and the gentle buzzing of the fan would be just enough to lull me to sleep,
with out the fan I can hear every little sound around MAGNIFIED.

And say perhaps someone that might sleep in the same room, not naming any names or anything...
happens to snore-- to someone that needs white noise, well that snore sounds like a car alarm going off in my calmly sleeping brain with out the muffling buzz of white noise.

Well as you know fans are more for summer like temps and my poor better half was noticing how freezing cold our room was getting each night, especially with the cold winter we've been suffering through, so he took it upon himself to buy me a little present.

My very own alarm clock sound machine.  How romantic, seriously! That's love.
Sadly there was no white noise, black and white buzz on the TV, fan like sound.

Instead I can chose from chirping crickets and mosquitos on a summer night so I can wake up swatting myself,
or ocean waves so I can have surfing dreams or shark attacks,
thunder storm which sounds a little more like one of those heart beat monitoring machines,
a rain storm which normally I love to hear that in the summer but all night it just makes me have to pee, and last but not least waterfall.

Surprisingly, the waterfall sounds more like a white noise fan then a tropical vacation
so I found my match!
 and
 I can sleep soundly and
Peter is no longer freezing.
