Why do you need something on in the background?

Personally it helps me sleep having "TV" playing in the background. But my SO uses it while she works, having something to break the monotony as music is distracting.

    That's fascinating to me, as I could not ever sleep with the TV on. Anything that has spoken voices keeps my brain turned on decoding the language and sleep is just not possible.

    [0] for example as found on YouTube.
