How did the crew sleep?!
24th Century medication.
Awww yea, everyone's happy and high, except Lon Suder.
On the side, I do sleep to background noise, mainly a fan, or PC because of tinnitus, thunder-storm ones are nice and I can see why this is, any general subtle noise is.

Low-pass filtered pink noise, have to use that for a uni project set on a spaceship 
Not great for a sleep aid though as it'll do a poor job of masking most distracting sounds owing to its lack of any higher frequency content, voices and creaks, etc will cut straight through this. A fan is better, and for tinitus, an out of tune radio (white noise) can work.
I found the thunderstorms in rainymoods a bit too loud for trying to sleep to once you had the drone of the rain set at a realistic level. Nice though.

A weapon large enough could create its own atmospheric shockwave temporarily ?
Years ago I knew someone who'd leave on Radio One AM on very low, back when they cut it off at midnight
Low level ambient noises or very bassy music relate to our earliest sounds heard while sleeping,etc waiting to be born, hence a subconsciously comforting effect

Yea I actually have a fan in the bedroom - a small desk one tucked into the corner facing away into the wall. Its covered in an old shirt to there is zero airflow (motor cover is not covered of course). Its rammed against the cupboard so I get a nice loud hum.
They can be relaxing true, but if your problem is being a light sleeper and woken easily by extraneous sound, they aren't ideal.
EDIT: With the fan, I do the same though don't bother covering it. Pointing into a corner helps create a diffuse sound field making it less ditracting. I put it near the door as that is where other noise is likely to come from.

I have to say, this shockingly pointless thread was made completely worth it by the posting of this link.
Thank you.

I'm expecting a red alert, and a raise shields somewhere....
