This happens to me almost every night.
I run a fan to keep me cool,
plus a white noise machine to try to drown out the idiot neighbors who live next door to me.

I don't know how many times I have gotten up in the middle of the night, and turned off the fan or the white noise machine, to see if I could hear the noise that I absolutely knew I was hearing. It was either music, people talking, or the sound of someone pounding on something, like hammering a piece of wood. Of course there's nothing there when I turn off the fan and the noise machine.

Now I know I can roll over and go back to sleep!
