What really gets under the skin is that noise just on the edge of hearing. You know, the sort that you cannot hear if you rustle the bedclothes but lie still and quiet it is just there and you begin to strain to hear it better. Even when you cover your ears you can still hear it.
What always seemed to wake me when I was at sea was the deathly silence that occurred when the engines broke down.

Don’t know what your ships were like, ours were always breaking down, the engineers had to swap out piston liners on a regular basis ( at least one every second trip across the Atlantic )

The old piston liners were just dumped over the side, as was all the ships garbage, dunno if that is still allowed, things may have moved on from the 70’s

Re: Silent Night

I used to live right next to a train station with a level crossing and after a few days i stopped hearing it..... but the tap dripping in the bathroom will keep me awake and i wake up before tylers feet hit the floor at night..

Tyler would sleep through a marching band in his bedroom once he is off..... he once fell asleep at a rock concert lol

Re: Silent Night

I have trouble getting off to sleep if its to quite, I always leave the TV on but put it on auto knock off, I usually drop off in 5 or 10 minutes and sleep about 6 or 7 hours

Cool Re: Silent Night

The only thing that stops me from dropping off is if I have something in my head that requires my attention.

Like for instance if I read a post that required a response and I went to bed before doing so. I deliberately don’t download any emails if I know I don’t have the time to do them justice before going to bed or even going out.

Or I get an idea on how to do something and went to bed without exploring it.

Re: Silent Night

I can fall asleep during the day with loud noises going on but at night it keeps me awake. How mad is that?

If we have a fan on and I fall asleep with it going I wake up if someone turns it off.
