white noise

"Many of us leave the TV on when we go to sleep. Some of us do it only when in hotels. But why do we do it? Why did we do it as kids? Why, when young, did we take the greatest comfort in falling asleep under the dinner table with guests all around? Or on the coarse couch while our family watched a movie? Because we don't want to be alone when we leave the waking world?"
~How We Are Hungry by Dave Eggers
