Do you sleep with..

[crabmeat]

I have a radio next to my head for my tinnitus.

I usually resort to that when I get the whooshing now and then. Mostly it's "eeeeeeee!", so I need droning noise to counter it.

The commercials on television wake me up. I use YouTube videos. Usually some older documentaries followed by one with the sounds of a thunderstorm. The history videos have to have a narrator with a good voice, like Bill Kurtis who did a lot of PBS videos.

I sleep with an earbud in listen to a podcast or something. Somehow it helps me tune myself out and just listen

 

[RoastBeast]

I don't have a TV in the bedroom but I got some speakers. I'll stick on some Spotify playlist (I find it a great way of discovering new music since I typically spend hours laying there half awake anyway) or something like Thunderstorm noise

Why no TV in the bedroom?

Why no TV in the bedroom?

I sit at a PC on Sherdog all day so don't use TV's

 

[Bobby00]

I prefer if something is in the background like a podcast or show but it cant be too loud. That asshat McAffe will sometimes show up out of nowhere with his loud ass annoying voice. Even though i never watched him. I thought about his demise but then thanks to sherdog i found Brave browser and havent seen a ad since.

The T.V. On? I feel like it helps me sleep at night. I would play asmr massage video or some documentary.

I watch this typically.

Just loud enough to hear it, not loud enough to actually make out exactly what they're saying lol

 

[mb23100]

Yep. Usually have Dateline or some other true crime stuff on. Not sure why. Gives me fucked up dreams

I sleep on the couch in the living room with the fan on, the tv on and the door and windows open, I need to hear the sounds of life going on all around me or i start to get paranoid
If the power goes out and things suddenly get silent, its like a reverse alarm clock and I snap awake instantly

This is fascinating. What causes the feeling of paranoia if you can't the sounds of life?

 

[dc007]

Not on purpose, but I pass out on the couch all the time.

Same. I don't have a TV in the bedroom but I often nap while on the couch and watching TV.

 

[MixMartialFarts]

I was freaked out as a kid watching The Ring and that ghost chick creeping out of a TV, so I don't even have a TV in my bedroom. I have plenty of other existential dread to fill my nightmares

In grade 8 we took a bunch of mushrooms and went to see that movie on opening night. I was fucked up for a few months after.

 

[GSP_37]

I always set the TV & DVR for sleep timer 60 minutes. Used to be 45 min, but new DVR doesn't give that option. Seems easier to fall asleep with TV on vs. just hearing night time crickets.

No idea if the sleep timer abruptly shutting off constant recording DVR damages it. Maybe not since manually shutting it off probably has same effect.

My kid is scared of the dark too

 

[Hung Like a Hamster]

My kid is scared of the dark too

But is your kid fast running up the stairs after flicking the light off downstair?

This is fascinating. What causes the feeling of paranoia if you can't the sounds of life?

Decades of drug abuse, most likely

 

[Madmick]

Silence and the dark are sleep's best friends.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

TV and Music ... loud. Lights on... Testing that Texas power grid day and night

 

[davidlemonparty]

Decades of drug abuse, most likely

Yeh fair enough man.
It's like breaking up with an partner. It takes 1/3 of the length of the relationship to be truly free of it

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

That seems like things sad lonely people do

 

[HereticBD]

Not usually, but there is something to it. If I'm having trouble sleeping, throwing on some news or a very talky drama, seems to put me out.
