Hearing is a funny thing -- some people can and do sleep, and soundly,
in noise conditions I find intolerable: Causes? Wind and some engine
powered generators; slapping halyards and waves; loud talking and
laughing; and thumping loud "music" until the wee hours. I have heard
it all too often and spent sleepless nights as a result.

QUIET WORKS.


What works for me is to have a small 12v fan, gently blowing, in the
sleeping cabin. The humming of the fan motor and the gentle breeze of the
fan puts me to sleep quickly and I do not hear any of the outside noises.
