White Noise

No, this isn't a movie review. It is a comment on why I use a box fan for white noise to help me sleep. Maybe it is because if I am at the beach the sound of the water and wind are so relaxing they put me to sleep, but the tapes of that sound doesn't. Maybe it is just because I CAN'T hear what the man/child is doing or when the oldest one comes in, so I am not awakened to only not be able to go back to sleep.... and when camping, it might keep you cooler to have a small oscillating fan turned on, or then again, it might just keep the critter noises around from waking you up too early.
