I can't do ticking clocks. My eyes under the lids start going back and forth like the Felix the cat type clock. The best sleep aid I ever had was a large apartment cooling tower that was loud when the fans came on. But it lulled me to sleep like nothing else ever has. Fans though help me considerably.
You're not the only one Airforce. I have one, but I can barely hear it. It's nice, and it beats the glare of the cell phone at 3 in the morning when I want to check the time.
Wow, I hate the tick, tick, tick sound and have been known to hide clocks that make noise. I had no idea that some people find it soothing. I prefer to sleep in total silence, but it rarely works out that way.
I love the sound of a ticking clock. My family has a huge grandfather clock that my dad built and it has been a constant sound in my life ever since I was a kid.
Now that I have my own apartment, I miss the sound of that grandfather clock. The only thing I don't miss are the chimes every quarter hour, which always seem to go off right when I'm starting a phone call!
I cannot sleep without the sound of a fan. If we lose power in the night, I wake right up because the fan goes off. I sleep with it on 365 days of the year. I also enjoy the sound of a ticking clock. We still have one in our kitchen. It soothes me when I'm upset.
