Falling asleep...

Kelly · Hermes

I can fall asleep either way. Usually when I fall asleep to music or the TV, though, it's unintentional.

erin · Chanel

i can fall asleep in almost any circumstance!

cahabo · Kate Spade

I don't need complete silence to fall asleep. If someone else is watching t.v. in another room (volume not too high) I can fall asleep as long as it's quiet in my bedroom.

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

I have to have the TV on to fall asleep. If it is completely silent my mind runs rampant.

member · Hermes

It has to be totally silent for me to fall asleep. SO on the other hand, needs the TV on to fall asleep. It used to be a problem, but we work different schedules and he usually comes to bed after me now, so it's no longer an issue.

lynnie · Chanel

i *could* fall asleep w/noise, but i prefer sweet sweet silence.

luckylily · Gucci

I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere. I have actually fallen asleep at rock shows more than once. DH usually watches tv until his eyes get pretty heavy, and I'm fast asleep by then.

Kitty · Hermes

I need silence. I can fall asleep w/ noise, but only if I'm totally exhausted and even then it usually will wake me up.

Can your boyfriend use earbuds?

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I also need silence.

I never allowed myself to fall asleep to TV or music b/c most of my family depends on that to go to sleep and I didn't want to get into the habit.

Lilykind · Hermes

I can fall asleep in either circumstance, but I prefer silence.

When I was in college, I downloaded an alarm clock that went off on my computer and wore earbuds to sleep so that I didn't have to wake up my roomies with it. I also slept with music because I was trying to drown out my roommates late night activities...

clothes_horse · Dooney & Bourke

i can't sleep with a tv on or with people talking. i prefer the sound of a fan so i have a small one that i take with me if i stay at other people's houses. it works great to drown out other noises that would normally keep me up.

dangergirl · Kate Spade

i was having problems getting to sleep recently and i tried a relaxation CD with quiet music and rain sounds which seemed to help. lately i've had a little fan on in my room. i think i think too much when its too quiet.

boobaby · Kate Spade

I can do either, but find that I am more rested if I have complete silence. I think the tv or music works its way into my subconscious and I have weird, restless dreams.

But I can sleep anytime, anywhere. I was kicked out of a bar once for sleeping. I wasn't even drunk.

jettie · Kate Spade

I definitely prefer silence but can do either if I am tired enough.

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I think it varies for me; sometimes I'll leave the TV on, and Joe will be like 'turn the TV off", then there are times where I like it completely silent. Oh well. I'll go w/the TV on. LOL I don't need music, but sometimes it helps.

Christine · Coach

I like silence best. However, if I am really tired I can fall asleep on the couch while the TV is on.

Ditto. (Watch--tonight I won't be able to sleep.

)

I prefer it to be quiet, but classical music on quietly is nice too. I can't really sleep if the tv is blaring in the other room, but other than that, I'm good. Lights on, lights off, quiet, music, whatever--when I'm out, I'm out.

squishy · Coach

i can fall asleep anywhere (on a bus/train/car/plane/standing up/karaoke bar/cafeteria), but i need the radio/tv on. but the noise can't be too loud, or else i'll start paying attention and get caught up in the show/program.

That is hilarious!

If I'm really tired I can sleep with or without noise (although I always sleep w/a fan on). But if I need to unwind I put the tv on and I'm out like a light, helps keep my mind from wondering on a million other things.
