Does anyone know a place I might find a noise machine? I'm having trouble regulating day and night and think something like that might help.

	I can totally help with that. What kind of noises are you looking for? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Probably city, that's what I'm most used to (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll see what I can find. If I can't get exactly what you're looking for, my sister can probably code it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. It doesn't have to be complicated, just something that transitions from day to night that I can leave on pretty continuously. I never realized before how much I relied on the background noise to keep myself in the right routine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've grown up on the station so I know all of the different sounds. It's been interesting, relying strictly on clocks to tell you the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unfortunately I can't seem to get myself in to that habit and without any kind of other indication anymore it's been difficult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The noise machine will definitely help. Then maybe you can start to slowly learn the sounds of the station and you won't need it so much anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That would be ideal. It's been louder lately, with more people waking up, but it still seems too quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashleysully 2018-02-25 07:14 am UTC (link)
	There are parts that are way too quiet. Like, you can hear your own heartbeat kind of quiet. It's really creepy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I usually avoid those areas, I don't really do well there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashleysully 2018-02-25 07:55 am UTC (link)
	It must be really bad. I'm Ashley, by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Without any visual stimulation it all comes down to sound, without that too...it's kind of maddening. Matt Murdock. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashleysully 2018-02-25 08:20 am UTC (link)
	I can only imagine. It's nice to meet you, Matt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmattmurdock 2018-02-25 08:43 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully those areas are usually easy enough to avoid. Hearing my own bloodflow is not something I'd like to experience often. It's nice to meet you too Ashley. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashleysully 2018-02-25 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	Had to be even worse with heightened hearing. I think I know where I can get a machine, and I'll see about those city sounds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmattmurdock 2018-02-26 03:07 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, I think it will be a great help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I found a machine. My sister is going tto code it for the city sounds. Anything in particular? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My children can function as noise machines. Are you having issues with sleep or a more general trouble? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	notmattmurdock 2018-02-26 03:07 am UTC (link)
	I can certainly imagine so. Some sleep, I've fallen in to routine of sleeping for three or four hours at a time, waking for five or six then sleeping again. It's gotten me a bit out of whack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2018-02-27 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Three or four hours at a time isn't enough. Would you consider taking a sleep aid until you can get into a more regular rhythm? (Reply to this) (Parent)
