I must have noise to go along with going to sleep. Usually thats an audio book or long-form video essay type YouTube videos. I wear one earbud to bed if I'm sleeping at night with my girlfriend or just blare it from the TV if I'm sleeping alone during the day (rotating shift). I feel like when I don't have engaging audio and I'm trying to sleep I can't quiet my mind enough to sleep. A fan or random ambient noise isn't enough for me.

My fiancée sleeps with a fan. I sleep with my finacée snoring.

    I'm hoping you already have, but if you haven't, get your fiancée to get a sleep study. Very often snoring is their way of telling you they are dying slowly.

    Yup, I ignored my snoring. That led to waking up tired every day, then a sore neck, then a mild headache that went away after waking up, and finally all of my extremities started to tingle. It all went away once I was able to wear my cpap for maybe half of the night.
