Silence Or Background Noise?
Asking — and answering — life's interesting questions
When you are puttering around the house, trying to fall asleep, gardening, or any other activity, do you prefer to do it in silence or with background noise?

I suppose it depends on the particular activity, but in general, I prefer to have some background noise. I like to listen to music (or lately, podcasts) while I wash dishes, for example. I don’t need white noise to fall asleep, like some people do, but having a fan on can be very relaxing.
With that said, being alone with your thoughts can be very challenging but also very rewarding.
Background noise distracts me. It’s in times of silence that I think my best thoughts.
I need white noise to fall asleep and stay asleep. I find silence disconcerting when awake, too.
