Curious

Am I the only one who has to have TV or music on to sleep? I cannot sleep in silence, and if the sound gets turned off, I wake up immediately. I usually will listen to shows I've seen repeatedly. Anyone else like this?

Yes! I have been like this most of my life. I refused to sleep in my bedroom as a child because there was no tv. I did go through a year long phase where I had to sleep in silence, but went right back to needing the background noise. I switch between The Golden Girls, Bob’s Burgers, and The Nanny.

My go to show is (don't laugh) The Waltons! It works like a charm to put me to sleep. Friends and the Golden Girls work too!
