I’m pretty sure this is a thing, I sleep with a fan so my girlfriend does too, I often get up a lot in the middle of the night and she hardly wakes, and we even sleep with the TV on sometimes though i don’t like it. One time though I accidentally unplugged the fan and our white noise was gone and she shot straight up super startled like I had set off fireworks
On US Navy ships, one of the first indications of a casualty is that ventilation stops, either via loss of electrical power or on purpose to prevent the spread of smoke. I now have an acute response when any fans suddenly turn off.
“Loss of electrical power on the Port Non-Vital Bus”

“Fire, Fire in the Engine Room-”
why are you giving me more nightmares? :’)
The second a smoke alarm starts the low battery beeping in my house, I’m wide awake. I don’t know how someone can sleep through it.

Lately, I’ve been really into self hosting. My first thought was server fan, not air conditioning haha🫠
There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.
I feel this way about hearing my dog puke, lol
LOL I have a fan that automatically stop if it run for too long, I have it for 1.5 years to this day I still don’t know why
Maybe it’s to prevent overheating
But that’s what fans are for
Maybe the fan motor needs it’s own fan
There’s an opportunity here somewhere for AC/fan/heaters with alarm integration 🤔.
Me
Almost me, except I had to get up and check the window, when it sounded like my cat clawing at it. It wasn’t my cat. It was a middle aged woman who was cutting my bedroom screen open. After opening my curtains she ran away, so nothing happened. But I had to get my screen fixed. And I was scared to sleep in my bedroom for a month, and with lights on.
Look at Mr. Social Butterfly over here, going out and overhearing people.
