Ok this is like BIZARRO styleeeeee.
We are kind of going through a mini house renovation at the moment at home. We've had the boiler replaced with a new up to date model, including getting new fireplaces in the living and dining rooms. THat was completed last week. On Saturday, a complete re-wire of the electrics started. Where we can get power from has been hit and miss all weekend as they are ripping cables out etc.
So basically, last night i got in bed, i have hurt my back from moving furniture around and it was really hard for me to sleep. One difference from the past like 3 years is that i didn't have a fan blowing on me. Thats right, every night for the past 3 years i have had a 16inch fan on full blast that points at me in the night - even when its freezing cold at winter. This was the first night in them 3 years that It hasnt as the 2 working power sockets were taken up by the boiler, and the TV downstairs on an extension.
So i spent an hour in bed tossing and turning, couldnt get comfy. My back was doing my head in (still is :/ ) and I thought "christ, im not gonna sleep at all 2nite and be ratty as hell at work in morning). Then i thought ZOMFG i cannot handle this, so in a last effort to get to sleep i unplugged the boiler (who needs hot water in the night anyway?
) and Plugged my fan in. Instantly, i i felt so much more relaxed. I closed my eyes and could feel myself settling down and getting drowsy. After that I dont remember any awakeness so I assume I must have fallen straight to sleep.
I wasn't hot in bed before i put the fan on, and without my covers i am freezing with the fan on. But could it be that I have slept for approx 3 years with the noise of a 16inch fan blarring out all night - and then suddenly that noise is gone, and the silence so bad that I just cannot sleep?
GET WHAT I MEAN?

! Should solve any problems.
Plus it blocks out other low level noise. It isn't unusual by any means. Apparently Wayne Rooney sleeps with either a hoover or a hairdryer turned on every night.
