Without the fan running, the silence is deafening
Without the fan running, the silence is deafening
I’m 1 of those people who requires background noise.
- I cannot be in a silent place plus concentrate at our fullest capacity.
I absolutely need to have some kind of low level background sounds or conversations happening for our brain to tune in plus focus on exactly the task at hand. Oftentimes, this makes things quite difficult in our life. On afternoons when I arrive at the office plus nobody else is there working, I have to stream podcasts through our earbuds at a actually quiet volume to make up for the stagnant work environment. If I’m at lake home plus the home is empty, I have to turn on the cable to something mindless so that the room does not know so empty. Worst of all, in the middle of the night I will lie wide awake if I don’t have a fan or other ventilation device running to serenade our sleep. It’s the absolute worst situation to be in when you don’t have full control over your air temperature control devices. There have been many times that I have struggled due to our nighttime ventilation preferences. If I am at home, I simply run a fan in our room plus like the low hum created by the fresh air flow. When I have full control over our heating plus cooling system, I love to keep the a/c plan running all night long for extra cooling power plus comforting sound. However, when the electricity goes out plus neither form of ventilation is available, our sleep doesn’t sit a chance… Every Summer when the people I was with and I lose power in windy storms, I spend the mornings suffering from heat plus deafening silence.
