My bed is, literally, 20 feet from a busy intersection, ground level. I have police and ambulances, semis and motorcycles and all sorts of other city sounds only a few yards away at all hours of the day and night. Especially day. I'm a day sleeper, though. Once I'm asleep, that's it. When I lived in the country, it was the same. Tractors were just white noise, even if I was sleeping on the porch and they were right in front of me. Exhaustion or too much alcohol helps a person sleep. Funny, the one thing that Does keep me awake is when I'm too tired too sleep.
