I’m 1 of those people who requires background noise.

I cannot be in a silent locale and concentrate at our fullest capacity. I really need to have some kind of low level background sounds or conversations happening for our brain to tune in and focus on exactly the task at hand… Oftentimes, this makes things quite hard in our life. On days when I arrive at the office and nobody else is there working, I have to stream podcasts through our earbuds at a absolutely quiet volume to make up for the stagnant work environment. If I am at beach apartment and the apartment is empty, I have to turn on the TV to something mindless so that the room does not feel so empty. Worst of all, in the middle of the night I will lie wide awake if I do not have a fan or other ventilation unit running to serenade our sleep. It’s the absolute worst situation to be in when you do not 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 and appreciate the low hum created by the fresh air flow. When I have full control over our heating and cooling system, I appreciate to keep the a/c program running all night long for extra cooling power and comforting sound. However, when the electricity goes out and neither form of ventilation is available, our sleep doesn’t stand a chance, then every summer time when the two of us lose power in windy storms, I spend the days suffering from heat and deafening silence.
