I've slept with a radio on really low, rock FM 104.1 here oldies mostly
since Lisa's been gone, it was always too quite now, dark no street lites etc.
it's quiet noise, too quiet
& the stream behind my place in Turtle Creek, was really loud
or when I used to hear road noise, off Willow Pass for a long time, when younger
maybe that's why ?
now It's a habit
When Lisa was beside me, I didn't do any of that, go figure, silent...
my dog is asleep beside me now
(probably doesn't help, most my dogs since are too)
I need the ceiling fan on too, it helps move air around some
or I get up in the middle of the night, can't go back to sleep
I sleep 'hot' it seems now too, even in the winter
keep the house warmer for my (88 y/o) dad, then I really like...
I often fall asleep with the TV on internet *MotorTrend's/FastTV, (Xfinity Cable 4080)
watch when I 1st get in bed, to make me sleepy anymore
no good late-night shows/TV, like there was 30 years ago, it's all **** now
They've* been doing Roadkill & Roadkill Garage marathons of late
my TV has a timer, it shuts off after a while
or mutes the sound, when the radio come on
I have no problem sleeping thru it, TV volume is so low anyway,
can't hardly hear it, as to not disturb my elderly dad's sleep
I think I'm sort of an insomniac of late,
I used to fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, working construction & traveling
(
unless Lisa was frisky
, she was a lot, that helped me sleep better too)
Now when I fall asleep in the recliner watching TV,
usually some old western dad's watching,
he goes to bed at 10:00pm every night, like clockwork
then;
I can't sleep well at night, without some background noise,
helps makes my mind go blank
in bed at 11:00pm to 12am-ish & up at 6:00-7:am-ish usually,
feel like I got plenty of sleep
I need a good 5 hrs...
those green or blue noises see advertised 'are just crap noise',
annoying noises for me, drive me nucken' futs
different strokes for different folks
& I'm glad I'm not like many other people are
as strange as it is, oh well...
