Things That Go Bump In The Night

[Dr.K]

Do certain noises, positions in bed (SLEEPING positions), clocks ticking or any other things stop you from getting to sleep at night?
I live by a main road and a railway...so the airwaves are always occupied around my house. Every time people stay over they can't understand how I manage to sleep at night.
And you?

[Cuchulainn]

The occasional north belfast riot.

I tend to sleep through that kinda noise. I spent a summer at my cousins, and a train runs by her backyard, so loud that the house shakes slightly when it passes. It didn't wake me, not once.

Noise doesn't bother me, but light does. The closer to pitch black my room is at night the better I sleep. I turn the face of my alarm clock off, make sure there aren't any lights on upstairs that'll leak through the crack around my door, etc.

[boris no no]

i am a really light sleeper. anything can wake me up.
my ex would sleep though anything. an earthquake wouldn't wake him

I live way back in the country, so when I'm in school or at someone else's house who DOESN'T live way back in the country, I have problems with light from the street coming through their blinds or curtains. Ucky.

[CaptRory]

If you think you could sleep with one on (I doubt I could) you might try one fo those sleeping maks things.

[Blackmageboi]

i can sleep through anything exept total silence lol it really gets to me

[Samuraid]

I can sleep with a loud fan turned on and other steady noises, as long as the noise is consistent and not sudden.

Ticking clocks and dripping faucets will keep me awake. Also the neighbours across the street when they have one of their parties that require the need for four police cars, and/or an ambulance and/or a fire truck.

[Craig]

Taps dripping, doors creaking, people making noises. It all drives me insane!

[Zeldy]

Im wierd when it comes to sleeping.
I used to not be able to sleep without the landing light on and my door ajar, But now, i can only sleep in Darkness.. how strange.
Snoring keeps me awake, Ticking clocks!!
I was at a sleepover, we were in the lounge, and i was like lieing there and all i cud hear was TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK.. and i ended up sitting up, and telling everyone, they all groaned as they could then hear it, so it ended up outside..literally, the girl put it on the doorstep..

I sleep fine in my room. The only times I don't have problems is when I turn off my computer for the night. I'm used to the noise I guess.

When I was staying at my girlfriend's house for a week I had a hard time sleeping. She has a fishtank in her room and her grandparent's house is really old so it would make all sorts of noises during the night. Plus before I went out there she tried to scare me by saying it was haunted, and of course it worked.

[Yamaneko]

I didn't wake up for the '94 earthquake here, so I'm sure a little ambient noise isn't going to wake me.

[rubah]

I love the sound of trains going by down in the valley.

and rain on the roof.

The thing that keeps me awake though is my dog scratching and scratching.
