Well? I ask this question because my roommate absolutely must sleep with his little fan on, but I am used to sleeping with my TV on. I prefer sleeping in total silence over the whirring of the fan.

A twenty inch fan and a radio blaring Iron Maiden. I used to keep all the lights on as well but now the alarm clock is enough.

Turn off everything. Pitch black + silent. But I can sleep with the lights on, or with something like a tv or fan on. I just prefer if it is dark and silent.

I desperately need the fan white noise, for some reason. Light levels can vary. Sometimes low volume chillout music (di.fm) in the background, but not often.

Red lights are fine (alarm clock, power strips), they actually help a little bit. Fan on if it's hot, but it's not needed. Computer is always on.

I sleep with my computer on, not because I feel I need it but because otherwise it can't be downloading.

I guess I should have included a computer option. when I say fan, I mean a seperate, fairly loud fan, not the computer fans.

I used to play some music, but that wastes resources, so I just turn off the lights, close my eyes, clear my mind, and 5 minutes later I'm dreaming.

Depends on what I have available. The doc had prescribed me Ambien because I can't sleep and those worked but I ran out of em and I don't feel like goin back to the doc for a refill. Pot or alcohol now.

I need silence, or white noise. If I hear talking, or sound effects, I can not sleep at all.
I keep 2 pcs in my master bedroom, and these 2 boxes are kept on at all times. The hum of the computers makes it so that I don't hear the neighbors in the townhouse next door when they run up or down their stairs, and I don't hear the cars that have too much bass so bad. I would prefer silence, however, that's impossible to achieve here, so white noise will do.

I have never in my life been able to fall asleep with a tv on or music on.

Drugs. Otherwise my inner screams of mediocrity and self loathing keep me awake through the night. I don't even try to go to sleep by myself anymore, I just take the medicine. I still don't like waking up, because I know it'll be another sh!tty day in the life. Whatever.
