I now need something to tune out. like the tv.

It must be completely dark and completely silent for me to sleep.

I just need it dark and quiet. an the fan on thats a Big most for me.

I have insomnia since age 4 or 5 or something, so yes, sleeping pills are my meds. I also like the place to be either dark, or have a warm light on (lava lamp, low wattage lamp). Depends on the day. The light calms me down..

Dark, sleeping pills and with the fan blowing full blast (even during the Winter).
