It seems incomprehensible to me how some people tolerate it.
It takes
Ohhh, that song… Good thing I’m listening to something else right now. 😐
HA! I literally just watched that just last night. I’m pretty sure I’d seen it long ago, but I stumbled upon it again because I saw the creator is coming out with a horror movie based on a twisted version of Barney (the purple dinosaur) called Buddy.
I wonder if his mother is proud of him for achieving his own version of success.
My grandparents had a large mechanical clock in their living room, where we would sleep on the floor when visiting as kids. The right “tick” would be nostalgic. I might go look for some ambient noise tracks with clock ticks…
Literally curated tick tocks. I’m in.
You can sleep without one?
How dare you try to trick me into believing anyone could not only tolerate the sound, but actually enjoy it.
I don’t know how people sleep with all the blinding blue LEDs so many electronics emit at all times.
I hate this too but I’ve got to have water dripping to sleep
Confirmed that you’re not this guy.
Get a metronome
I grew up around them, so my brain tuned ticking clocks out. Certainly I’ve lost that ability since then but I haven’t encountered a bedroom with a ticking clock in a long time.
Would the sound of a dripping tap be innocuous?
The clock works as intended and ticks in predictable intervals. It’s much the same as rain whipping against a window or a old house groaning during storm.
The faucet dripping means something is wrong and will annoy me to no end. It’s much the same as a buzzing fly or screaming/panicking children.
In other words: you can’t really compare those two.
Interesting.
I can tolerate non repetitive sounds, like rain, or wind, or the house settling.
Reliably consistent sounds do my head in.
Clocks, dripping taps, fan clicks - all invented by the devil
Proverbs 27:15?
Provably
For me it comes down to repetition. Repetitive consistent sounds I can ignore. Random sounds though keep me up.
It’s the rhythmic/repetitive pattern. It’s just another form of white noise.
I’m trying to think of a time a noise was distrupting my sleep and only example I can think of is waves hitting the boat hull. It’s quite irregular sound which is why it bothers me. Music, talking, fan, road noise or such doesn’t effect me at all.
What do I care how loud it is? I’ll be asleep. Things like that only bother me when I’m awake.
Are youre one-a-dem peoples with what’s got that sleep on command doo-hickeys or what?
It’s staying awake that takes effort, for me.
I have trouble staying awake and going to sleep
I’m so sorry
Mine even rang it’s bells at every half-hour and hour. So 12 loud bell rings at midnight. In my bedroom. I slept well.
Honestly I think it’s because I get used to the sound. If the ticking and ringing are always there, the brain just ignores them, even in sleep. For subjectively nice sounds (like those of a nice pendulum clock) at least.
I don’t have it running anymore, the weights would eventually hit the piano.
My husband snores so I can help here, eventually you will tune anything out, with enough exhaustion.
I’m used to it. It reminds me of being at my grandmother’s house.
