Do you like white noise (fans, AC, TV), absolute silence, or something else? Is there some weird sound that makes you fall asleep easier (mine is ambulance/fire engine sirens or a diesel engine)?

I'm a light sleeper, but generally I like a fan blowing, and either the heat/ac running. Sirens and diesel engines make me sleep like a baby (blame it on years in emergency services and living in a medical center).

Since moving to China, I need noise to sleep. It really makes people a little unhappy when they sleep over that I have to turn on something. I am used to the squelching of bad brakes on big trucks and sleep right through them!

I prefer silence but since I work at night and sleep during the day I rarely get t, especially now since it's getting warmer. I'll be sleeping to the sounds of the neighbors dogs barking

The sound of water works for me.

I have an awful time sleeping.. I have a sound machine that actually plays quite a few of the options you have listed, including city traffic! I personally go for white noise or rain.

It depends on how sleepy I am. I can sleep with the TV on when I'm tired, but there are times when I need complete silence when my insomnia kicks in.

I only like soft noise like a ceiling fan and I don't mind nature. I can't fall asleep if the tv is on.

I have to have the box fan on or I can't fall asleep.

Sometimes I like to have the TV on so I can fall asleep. Other times, that's more of a distraction and I have to have it silent to fall asleep.

I have to have a fan and I like either music or a story. I listen to books from audible .com on my cell phone.

Fans, just having a window open at times helps. When it rains that helps the most.

I always have an air purifier on and my window open. If I don't have some type of noise it takes me forever to fall asleep.

We both prefer some sort of white noise - a fan, air purifier, something. When I go out of town or house sit, it can be really difficult to fall asleep in the utter silence! I'll often fall asleep watching a DVD or Netflix in those situations.

My wife prefers the TV and fan, but I like nothing at all.

i like having a fan going.
04/15/2012
We generally have the fan going, but when I sleep alone I leave the tv on for the noise.

i always have the fan on.

I'll take nature with crickets in the distance.

Silence. I need silence. I'm a speshul snowflake sleeper. I don't know what I'm going to do when my son and his pregnant girlfriend move back home this summer. I'll have to learn to sleep to the sound of rain with my sleepphones.

I'll tolerated white noise, especially if it blocks out other noise and is a consistent pattern, but pretty much arrhythmic noise wakes me up/keeps me awake.

I prefer no noise, nature sounds like light rain splattering on the window (or crickets chipring), or just something like a fan going but my mother needs the TV on to get decent sleep for some odd reason.

Normally I prefer silence, but I don't mind the sound of a computer fan whirring in the background.

white noise

My first instinct was "complete silence" but actually that's not true. I prefer to have SOME noise in the background, but it has to be something consistent and fairly quiet, like a fan or heater. I can still sleep with complete silence, but it's just better to have that slight noise. No matter how tired I am, I CANNOT sleep with music or the TV on.

Things I can fall asleep to:
1. Soft tv noise.
2. Very soft music.
3. Nature sounds.
4. The fan or air conditioner going.
If someone is snoring, I will be up forever until they stop.

The sweet sweet sound of my air purifier on "silent" setting. Very quiet, but when it's off I feel weird. Complete silence is a bit disturbing.
Sometimes I like to have audio book or podcast or something going very quietly. Usually when I'm sick or stressed and I need something to take my mind off my misery.
