Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now, Tanya has a question for us, and it's razing.
We as a culture obsess about sleep or quality of
sleep or lack thereof. We have rings that we charge
and put on our fingers that tell us what quality
of sleep we have gotten. Sure, we plug ourselves into data.
We wake up in the middle of the night, often

(00:20):
to go to the bathroom, to go back to sleep
or not to sleep. Then the alarm goes off. We moan,
we groan when that sound happens. But Tany's a question
about this process for us.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, Well, because I talk to you every single day,
and I realized I don't know the answer to this question.
And I was talking on my way back from our
festival with our coworker Belinda, and she was telling me
that she goes to sleep in silence.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
And I say, I can see what everybody does.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, No, not everyone. I have a white noise machine
that we put on our room every single night.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Room. Yes, because that's pillow cover and a white noise
machine and tape over your mouth. Yeah. YEA A lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
People sleep with white noise.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's not just me. Yes, children, no adult.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Is there any adult back there that sleeps with white noise?
I have a fan, yes, thank you, not white noise
noise actually.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Using a different function.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, app, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Wait you are a fan, or you have a fan.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I have a fan, but when I'm not home, I
have a fan an app that plays a fan for me.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
See, I mean, I fall asleep to a siren here
or there and a little dog barking across.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
It's always a little dog down the street.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I have a little dog. It wakes me up.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Too, That's the thing. It wouldn't wake you up if
you had the white noise in your room.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't, Tanya.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
I can't sleep with white noise, Tanya. For me, it
gives me anxiety.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
A lot of sleeping in silence makes me like, it makes.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Because there's so much noise in the day, and then
your partner gets up to go to the bathroom in
of the night and you just hear every crook and
creek and a stomp.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Im no.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
But you know, I can't even like even the white noise.
So we share like a wall with Asa and Saya's room,
and they have like the ocean sound waves and all
this that's like it's like a spaceship in there. And
and sometimes it's too loud, and I'll have to get
up and lower their volume because I could even hear.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
A little bit through the walls.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
And I can't sleep that.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
You both sleep in silence.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
That is how we did it. From being kid.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
What if someone like breaking into your home in the
middle of the night, You're not going to hear anything because.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Of your head. Intruder gone, you're playing Edema in the sand. Alright,
let's get a break. We're coming back with this quote
of the day. Here
