If they can sleep during all the noise, wouldn’t they have even better sleep when it’s quiet?
In: Biology
Nowhere is ever truly quiet, and from someone who grew up in a city, and moved to a less populated place for college, then moved back to the city: silence is creepy to those unaccustomed to it. With “silence” every noise outside, inside, etc becomes amplified. Wind, crickets, natural house creaking, AC/heat, the seldom car that drives down the street, you can now hear all of this which someone used to silence “tunes out.” For example I’m a light sleeper, while I grew up tuning out airplanes and cars driving by frequently. I’m in a quiet suburb now and I need the fan on or else every noise outside wakes me up because they actually happen seldomly.
