Too hot.

I'll turn it up full.

Angle it away from the bed so that it's not blowing directly onto me.

but that will help me get to sleep.

And I think it's because we do it in Norfolk.

When we moved out to Norfolk, we were shocked by how quiet it was.

We were living in South London and it's pretty noisy.

And then suddenly you go out to the middle of the countryside where we live and there's total silence.

Like not birds, not, I mean, maybe foxes or maybe the odd owl occasionally, but most nights, nothing.

And it was so overpowering.

Well, we realized one hot summer that it was nice having the fan on and that actually it got you to sleep a little faster.

So now I need noise.

And if there isn't a fan, if I'm staying in a hotel or whatever, or staying with a friend and they don't have a fan in the room,

then I've got a noise machine on my laptop, White Noise Maker.

And actually, it's not just white noise.

You can change it to all sorts of different things.

It can be Tibetan monks.

It can be rain.

It can be forest sounds.

And it's got a little mixer, like an EQ thing, so you can add some birds or take away some waterfalls.
