An amusing oddity is that due to the same childhood experience, the noise of a fan helps me go to sleep.


Grew up in Texas and this is so real. I need white noise to sleep and my go-to is a ceiling fan.

Even in the winter, it’s not uncommon for me to have the fan on high while it’s 65-68 inside. I compensate with an extra blanket.


Living in the north, the two nights when I get the worst sleep are: The first night in the spring when we open the windows, and the first night in the fall when we close them. Likewise, my first night on any camping trip, and the first night back at home. It takes at least one night for my brain to settle on a new noise / silence pattern.
