Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?

I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.

As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.

More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it’s light-hearted and doesn’t require too much thought.

    Yes, I can’t stand complete silence. I have a fan going at pretty much all times, summer or winter, and I definitely can’t sleep without it. I have a white noise generator, but I prefer the fan because I’m so used to the airflow that the room feels dead and suffocating without it now.
