Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep? (lemmyunchained.net)

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.

Try weed. Not right before sleep but a bit earlier, while watching those stand-ups for example.

Yeh. It’s amazing. I have a medical license for it. But sometimes I want to not sleep haha. More about the silence being frightening. Rather than not being able to sleep. Haha.
