Default When you Fall Asleep

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?


What do you like?

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

..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.

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.

I don't like noise like TV, music, people talking etc but I love the sound of rain outside when I'm going to sleep

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
