I can't ignore background

[bcjammerx]

Like I hear everything...especially music. Drives my wife crazy. We'll go in someplace and some song is playing like...low and hard to hear...I pick up on it right away...and I can't ignore it. Repetitious sounds or irregular occuring sounds doesn't matter.

At night...EVERY little sound keeps me up so I HAVE to have a box fan (cause they is noisy!) at med-high speed. I am a light sleeper but once I'm out I'm out for a good 6hrs and nothing will wake me. But before or after that I'm a light sleeper.

Anyone else have this problem...I mean seriously...I can't ignore ANYTHING, drives me nuts sometimes.

Might wanna see a doctor about that. I'd hate to be around if your car needs a bad valve adjustment!

im deaf in my right ear so i lay on my left side with my good ear in the pillow lol....dont hear a thing lol

I'm the same way. I'll lay in bed and if I hear the slightest noise, it keeps me up. My fiance hates that I have a fan beside the bed and it HAS to be on, even over the winter. I also have the problem of not being able to shut my mind off. I'll lay there and think about things that happened thru out the day. Drives me insane. Lately it's been all about the h swap. I need to get this done so I can move on to something else. I hate it!

I notice everything too. It doesn't bother me though, I just absorb, sort it into things that need my attention immediately and things that don't and move on.
My wife has to have a fan on to sleep, which drives me nuts. I can't hear anything that happens outside the bedroom unless it's loud. You could probably get in and out of the house with all my crap and I'd never realize. The other thing about it that bugs me, is she insists that the small children have a fan running at night as well, to mask external noises. I say she's just screwing them up. They'll never be able to sleep without it.

I sleep with a fan on every night also.....It started when I was a kid for the same reasons you listed....Id hear everything....and itd keep me up all fucking night....having a fan on solved that

Now I have to have it on cuz its kinda like a security blanket.....that and I cannot sleep in heat......Even during the winter I have a window open and fan on at night.....I LOVE having my surroundings freezing while im all bundled up nice and warm lol

Ive had fans quit on me in the dead of night and I get up instantly.....Its better than an alarm

My friend uses those white noise machines at night to sleep.

I live in the middle of nowhere so we have animals comming out of the woods making noises outside. Our new house hasn't been here that long either so it makes noises from settling and everything. I CANNOT stand it lol. Any little noise and my ass will be getting up or just not able to sleep. I go to bed with the stereo on every night but sometimes that doesn't work either. I feel your pain though man.
