Without the fan running, the silence is deafening

Without the fan running, the silence is deafening

When I have full control over our heating & cooling system, I enjoy to keep the air conditioning system running all evening long for extra cooling power & comforting sound

I’m one of those people who requires background noise. I cannot be in a silent location & concentrate at our fullest capacity. I truly need to have some kind of low level background sounds or conversations happening for our brain to tune in & focus on exactly the task at hand, then oftentimes, this makes things quite hard in our life. On nights when I arrive at the office & nobody else is there laboring, I have to stream podcasts through our earbuds at a truly quiet volume to make up for the stagnant work environment. If I am at home & the condo is empty, I have to turn on the TV to something mindless so that the room doesn’t assume so empty. Worst of all, in the middle of the evening I will lie wide awake if I don’t have a fan or other ventilation unit 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 several times that I have struggled due to our eveningtime ventilation preferences. If I am at home, I simply run a fan in our room & prefer the low hum created by the fresh air flow. When I have full control over our heating & cooling system, I enjoy to keep the air conditioning system running all evening long for extra cooling power & comforting sound. However, when the electricity goes out & neither form of ventilation is available, our sleep doesn’t rest a chance. Every Summer when the people I was with and I lose power in windy storms, I spend the evenings suffering from heat & deafening silence.
