Light Sleeper Going reefer??

buy a white noise generator or one of those boxes that produce soothing sounds to sleep with. waterfall,waves,rain,etc... it will drown out the reefer noise for sure. it does work

 

continuous worked for me. Starting up can be noisy.

 

I don't know that I could be considered a light sleeper, but it amazes me how in-tune you become to the equipment. It seems like I will sleep hard through everything but the reefer not doing what it's supposed to do. It has gotten to the point that, even when not paying attention, I will notice if the reefer tries to start and doesn't. Once, I was pulling out of a rest area and the unit failed to start. Even though I was pulling out of a parking spot and the truck was making the usual noise in doing so,I felt the reefer try and die. Another time, I was in a shop, lots of noise and activity and the unit failed to start. Again, I heard it through the din without even realizing it.

As for the light sleeper issue; one thing you might try is running it on continuous while you sleep so there is the constant noise/vibration that you should get used to over a short time.

 

Get tuff or die people!

 

After a couple of weeks hauling reefers your main worry will be lack of sleep so when you do eventually hit the sack a freight train wouldn't wake you up '
