I am the opposite. I have difficulty sleeping without white noise from a fan. I need that air flow and the noise.

Dead silence is unsettling.

Warm milk, yoga, and push-ups will get me sleep. Might not keep me asleep though.

My wife always wants sexy time, waking me up at all hours. Kidding.

But my wife used to grind her teeth in her sleep so she wears a fitted mouth guard. And if she isn't breathing through her nose, that mouth guard gives her loud "Darth Vader" sounding breath. Really difficult to stay asleep with "Hooo-Pahhhh" in your ear.

But when this takes place it helps me to focus on my own breathing to get back to sleepy time.

I grew up in a house without a furnace and became accustomed to heat systems that were more or less silent.
Yeah I think this is partially why I have trouble sleeping with nearly any noise... At home we have floor heat and a fire place, so at night it's very quiet.

I can usually sleep with a normal fan (w/ my earplugs I can't really hear mine anyway), but this particular fan has more of a "Whir-whir-whir-whir" noise instead of a softer "pffffffff" noise (if that makes any sense lol). Doesn't help that this fan sometimes does a really loud, high pitch screech.

Just buy your room mate a new fan. A box fan costs $10-$15. You should "accidentally" knock the noisy fan out the window and buy a replacement.
