Oh, and does Zen snoring = "white noise"?

Not white noise, saffron noise.

I've come to know a few people who don't mind sleeping with the light on while others must have it on to sleep.

I personally can't stand any light when its that time to hit the hay. I must have complete darkness or something close to it. I'm the kinda guy that will go as far as covering up my windows just in case the sun comes up before I'm up.

I like to sleep with the tv on.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

If I'm tired enough, I can sleep anywhere. That said, I have to be flat out exhausted because I'm a light sleeper. This is usually a noise related issue, though, so for me to sleep I generally have to be somewhere where a regular "white" noise (humming tires, loud enough fan, etc) masks most of the little irregular noises. Otherwise I have to put on a long talk podcast on low to fall asleep.

Light seems to be no object, unless I'm laying down with a bright light or the sun directly in my face. I've frequently fallen asleep with all manner of lights on because I was reading.

This was Instagrammed at Linville Falls. It was cloudy, but bright, and I was laying back on a flat, water-smoothed rock that I had jumped to in the center of the staggered rapids below the falls in the gorge. I pulled my hat down over my eyes and snoozed to the sound of the waterfall and the rapids. Even with all that white noise, someone knocking a rock loose on the trail some distance to my right startled me out of sleep, partially because I'm paranoid when carrying 2K worth of camera equipment, and partially because I'm that light of a sleeper when it comes to noise.

I dunno if you can inherit it. My mom blames light sleeping on motherhood, and my dad says he's been that way since being in the Rangers. My sister and brother can sleep through hurricanes, regardless of light.

Only if I'm too lazy to get up and turn them off. Really makes no difference to me.
