Can vs Can't sleep with music in the background? This post is inspired by the runout groove discussion. I used to get in mad fights with college roommates about this shit. I think it might have something to do with growing up in a city vs growing up in the country. Also, when music is on, I wanna listen. I can't sleep with any music on, be it classical, Bob Marley, or sleepy nappy time James Taylor. Holleur on it.

    sometimes I fall asleep with headphones on. I hate to wake up with a wire around my neck and an ear pad on my face though.

    I really tend to prefer absolute silence when I'm getting shut eye which is a bit of a pisser as my gf loves to have TV/music on to go to sleep to.

    Having said that, if I put on FSOL's Lifeforms album I'll be asleep in ten minutes - guess it goes back to the whole not needing to listen to the music aspect.

    I find it challenging to sleep with music on.

    I also prefer to blap without music or any other A/V distraction.

    I've got permanent tinnitus in one ear, so I can't sleep w/out some sort of background noise. Sorry for keeping you up late

    My tinnitus needs music, always.

    yeah i cant sleep with any music or any distractions. I got a little fan though that i have to have on to block out sounds like drunk roommates and stupid bitches after last call. It gives like white noise to the room which makes me sleep better.

    Agreed. This reminds me of another story. I was putting the moves on my (then) girl down in Nola. We were staying at her aunt's house while there (her aunt is a real kick ass lady, she's the "party aunt.") Some of her aunt's grandkids were over, and just as I was putting some good moves on, they started playing the aunt's PA system she had to work out to. The song: "Ladies Night" by Kool & The Gang. I defy anyone to try to seriously get down to that song without laughing! Shit was funny, I was amused by the juxtaposition of this "sexy" song that is super cheesy playing while I was trying to be sexy and do some stuff. So I was laughing, and she got pissed off. But, I eventually blocked it out.

    I am usually this way, but sometimes if listening to music in the afternoon laying on the couch I will fall out. Only with music thats mastered in Phill Spector's wall of sound style. It has to be really full.

    Although my college roommate in the dorm sure didn't like me playing Ministry's A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste LP at bedtime.
