Do you prefer complete silence and calm?
I need to have my TV on and I need to have my fan blowing wind in my face.
What do you like?
- Do you prefer complete stillness when you go to sleep?
or
- Do you like having wind and some sound in the backround?

I can't sleep unless I have a light breeze drifting across my face. I cannot stand still air.

Silence and darkness although sometimes Ill nap in front of the TV.
One of my flatmates has music going all night... would keep me up listening!
..I like the TV on but only on really low volume and it has to be something quite easy to watch..nothing like a horror movie when the music suddenly goes loud because that wakes me up with a start if I've just drifted off to sleep...and I have a window open always, otherwise I feel claustrophobic...

I'm not worried about noise, but complete darkness is essential. No standby lights from clocks/tv's or anything. I also like to be cool/cold.

pitch black, windows closed, no noise. can't really sleep otherwise.
oh and sleep is always best if the sheets & duvet cover are new (not like brand new bought sheets, but have just been washed etc.)

I have to have a fan when i go to sleep. I need the air to be moving.

Windows cracked open barely. But thats my alone sleep. With someone else, I am flexible.

omg, you know about the cold side!
I'll tell you guys my secret to going to bed, i put star trek voyager on, i have all seven seasons downloaded on my computer, and i use them as fairy tales, cause that's what they are, I know them all by heart now, so it's like hearing a story before i go to bed, it's so comforting, i love it. It's comforting hearing the same episodes you've already watched many times before. You don't even have to lok at the screen, you can see it in your head. I put 8 episodes on to play, and basically when they finnish it's time for me to wake up, i'm already asleep, but actually when they finnish, the silence actually wakes me up.
It's perfect. Star trek really is the best thing to go to sleep to. They are like having someone reading you fairy tales at night.

Awesome! most star Trek fans slag off Voyager! i love it though. Voyager is my favorite. So many strong maternal female characters. I love strong women.
I love going to sleep imagining i'm on the Voyager heading for home.

Most Star Trek fans take it waay to seriously! The main reason I like voyager, is beause, it doesnt seem all that serious, even given their predicament.

yup, they're just getting on with it. which is basically how i feel most days. That's what makes them great, is because they've basically reisgned themselves to the fact that they arn't going to live long enuf to get home, but they still keep hope alive and they just get on with their jobs, and make the best of a bad situation. I wish more people were like the Voyager crew.
Especially Neelix, i know most ST fans HATE Neelix, but i love him. I think you need someone like that on your crew. He's a jolly fellow, and of course he can be annoying, but he's still a really sweet guy with the best of intentions. I love Neelix.

some sound in the backround

if it's my own noise like music or TV, then I can sleep with that, but not other people's noise

Complete silence and complete darkness.
Window open. The sound of the A road running around the back of my road

It has to be totally dark, and in complete silence. That's just how I am. If it's too bright or noisy then I just can't sleep.
Always have radio on, a talk station not music, makes it a bit more cheery having some background discussion to nod off to
Complete silence and darkness. No open doors at all.. not even wardrobe doors

Usually complete silence and darkness, as others have mentioned. I leave the window open if it's hot and stuffy, though (I quite like the feeling of wrapping up to get warm after being initially chilly), but shut it again as the noise of the birds wakes me up. :bored:
Yeah I normally have the window open when I first go to bed then end up having to shut it about 8/9 in the morning when it starts getting noisy outside, people should show a bit more respect for us late sleepers

I'm easy,once tired I can fall asleep no matter what is going on around me but the one thing I can't stand is heat.
In Summer,I need to have some cool air coming my way in order to ease into sleep.

I usually can't sleep without watching the news or listening to music. I turn all off before I sleep though.

Anyway, what I usually do is put BBC Three on and I usually fall asleep of tiredness. I have to leave my window open a bit though as it gets really hot in my room,

I agree about the rain, it is very soothing.
And the same about noise, I much prefer silence. And would only keep the window open during the hot days of the summer.

Complete silence, it's really quiet where I live so I'm used to silence.

I need to have my Tv playing, I need my window open or a fan blowing on me. I cannot stand being warm in bed. It also needs to be pitch black.
