Why is it so hard to sleep in silence once you get adjusted to a white noise?

I’ve always wondered this. I use a fan every night even if it’s freezing cold and it’s for the white noise. I literally can’t sleep without it going and I start getting paranoid about the house creaks and deafening silence.

be careful with running the electric fan all night with the windows and doors closed it can kill you.

Your environment has changed, so you become hyper aware. It’s the same concept as when you first move out from your parents or get a new job. It’s different from the norm so your mind pays more attention to it’s surroundings as a survival mechanism.
