Normally, I sleep with the TV on, but the one in my bedroom died and I haven't replaced it yet. It was cool. It had a sleep timer. I could set it to automatically turn off.

Now, if I listen hard enough, I can hear the relaxing whirring sound from the nine fans inside my tower in the next room.

It is constantly hot in my apartment even with the windows open and its below freezing so I always have the fan on.

I sleep with my delta cpu fan running all night long. I can't stand complete silence, because I also hear a ringing. The only time I sleep without some sort of droning noise, is when I hear the faint breaths of someone sleeping next to me.

yea same here:) Kinda odd that i can't fall asleep as easy without some noise now. My bedroom pc is on 24/7 but it isn't loud. Case is covered with plastic and it only has 5 fans.(golden orb being the loudest)

I sleep like crap if I don't have a fan on. That's also because my feet get too hot if I don't have a fan blowing on them.

Anybody else have the problem that their feet are on fire when they go to bed? I gotta sleep with my footsies out from under the blankets with a fan on them to keep from overheating in my sleep :confused:

My husband puts the fan on in the dead of winter, and does not care if I am freezing, because he can't sleep without it. So needless to say, alot of nights I crash on the couch in front of the tv. ;)
