same, I have a white noise machine AND the fan going all year round. I need steady noise, when the power goes out, someone cutting their fucking toenails will wake me up
I've had a white noise machine for six years now. Soundofsleep dot com I think. Ended up getting two and a travel one. I start every night with the old Ricky/Karl XFM radio then switch on the machine...
Yeah this trick is called black noise. A noise that is the same as the original noise that phases out each other. Some noise canceling headphones are working the same way. And i think military gear (like helicopters and vehicles) work the same way, to mask their sounds and become a lot more quiet and hard to detect.
Yep I guarantee if it was the other way round he'd be like ...well I Just said last year you fucking idiot! ...karl doesn't feel the need to be that kind of person lol
Karl explaining about the constant noise makes sense, I can't sleep without a constant noise so I use my fan and also because I cannot relax and dead silence
I knew a friend from elementary,with the same problem. And he also used a hair fan before he went to sleep. So in this one (and many others) I didn't laugh . Because as I wrote, a can concur that , the fan thing is a fact.
Australia being at the bottom of the planet, best campsites being littered, people sharing food wanting to bang you? I mean he's not an idiot, but he is a bit dumb.

You don't hear it unless you listen for it. If you just start thinking about stuff, you can't hear your heart beat; it's only when you're listening for it.
Pretty sure the vacuum cleaner thing is true. As in it's a form of white noise, meaning you get used to it then other noises are drowned out by your new perception of silence. Although a vacuum cleaner might be a bit too loud for that to work.
I HAVE to sleep with a fan. If I stay somewhere without a fan I just pull an all nighter staring at the walls. I've slept with a fan just about every night for 25+ years. A vacuum cleaner is a bit scary because it is much much much more common for vacuum cleaners to catch fire. I also assume the electric motor in a common fan uses a lot less electricity.
A white noise machine is the one, charge it up for 30 minutes and you get a full nights kip out of it, much cheaper than the fan I've used for 20 odd years.
@MrDX1118 It doesn't have to do with tinnitus in my experience, although I imagine it would help for someone who has it. It's just way too eerily silent without a fan once as you've slept with one.
I use a loud fan to help me sleep every night and have done for over 5 years, I have tried without it and I do not sleep as well, I know of many people who have similar experiences, and there's products on the market that produce constant ambient noise to aid in sleep, Karl is right and it pisses me off how those 2 wankers dismiss everything he says as nonsense
I recently asked a client to write their name in one spot and sign it in another - with a smug look and tone they asked “don’t you mean /print/ my name there?”; I imagine that this is how Karl feels on a regular basis.
You know what.. sometimes I'm thankful for Karl as he's got the lack of filter to say out loud all the insane thoughts and processes my minds gone through in private and I feel better for it.
Ricky has never, ever had any trouble comprehending Karl. Karl is insightful in one sense. But for me I wouldn't waste my life doing things Karl does or thinking about 95% of things he does. Not to say he isn't funny :))
I use ambient noises to fall asleep every night. It really frustrates me how Ricky and Steven will just immediately discredit anything Karl has said...on the sole argument that it's Karl that said it. I know it's all for humour and everything, but the man's treated like such a dimwit, and he's honestly one of the most intelligent people I've ever known.

The guy believes that bug can make love to a leaf and have babies, and that's how bugs who can mimic the leaves came to be. You, however, think that he is one of the smartest man ever cause he is kinda right abot the background noise during sleep? Are you freaking mental?
He’s right but explains it all so funny. Like the vacuum. White noise- how did Ricky & Steve not get that 🤨😂😂 I just love Karl. I’m rewatching these ❤️✔️
Karl’s right about the noise cancelling!! I just don’t use an actual appliance, I use a speaker and some music, played on my phone. Definitely helps you sleep!
You know Karl’s actually right about the vacuum noise drowning out other noises I can say this in confidence being that I work with sound for a living and white/pink noise is more preferable if you want to relax or take a snooze tho. Also wearing earplugs to bed sounds god awful to me🤣
Just FYI that white noise thing Karl was talking about with the fan and the vacuum helping some people sleep is absolutely correct. He was also right about earplugs not working because that just makes your pulse seem louder. It doesn't happen often but sometimes Karl is spot on.
I mean the trash thing kind of makes sense for instance when you are offroading in a popular area, their aren't any roads obviously, but there are tracks, so if there are tracks other people went thru there many times, meaning it's the best path
“Didn’t do much this morning, just sat by the pool, saving insects that flew into it.” Listen, I laugh at Karl’s thought process with everyone else but this hit a little to close to home
Bloody hell. So many instances where _"I have at some point in my life, BEEN Karl Pilkington"_ I once have- and still recall, saving insects from a pool, when I was quite young. A white butterfly to be specific. While in the army, I slept outside under my bivouac, next to a gas-fueled power generator, so our superiors could sleep nice and warm inside the armored vehicle. I slept surprisingly well, under the constant droning of the generator, sounding like a lawnmower next to my head and when the damn thing ran out of fuel after 2-3 hours, I woke up instantly from the thing shutting off... I tried going back to sleep, but my superior poked his head out and immediately yelped "Renard!! We'll get cold! Go refuel the generator." I usually sleep with earplugs, but I often get bothered at first, because my pulse in the veins in my ear is causing slight friction, them being right next to your eardrum, actually causing a significant ruckus. The best way I can describe the sound is, as if a bloke is shoveling gravel just outside your door, one scoop per second. The sound goes away as your pulse goes down while resting resting, but if you need to move, like turn to switch side, the pulse may slightly increase and you hear the noise again, albeit briefly.
Lyme Regis is very nice, as is a lot of Dorset, especially during summer, but if you're from England i'm not sure you can class it as seeing "the world".
