When I was younger I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't have a light on and music playing. I got used to having a light on because I would read in bed (Yay for bed lamps) and would usually fall asleep while reading therefore the light would get left on.
Now I can sleep without music or a light if I need to but I still prefer to have music on because I really don't like total silence and my house get's very quiet at night.

I live in the city next to a busy highway. There are traffic sounds and street lamps coming through my window all night, as well as drunk people staggering down the sidewalk at all kinds of hours.
Not to mention, during the school year's latter months, I usually get about 0-3 hours of sleep a day, sometimes in an office chair or sitting on the floor against the wall. Not only that, but it's usually impossible to predict when the opportunity to sleep (and sometimes eat) will occur. Under conditions like that, you learn to take advantage of any chance to sleep you see. I've become pretty good at sleeping anywhere under any conditions.
If we're working at someone's house, and I get to pass out on the couch, that seems pretty luxurious. It's all pretty bitter, considering I own the world's most comfortable bed.

I lived in the country for awhile where it was always so quiet and dark.
When I moved to the city, I had a lot of problems sleeping because of all the light and noise at night.
But I got used to it, and visited my dad in the country for a few days, and wouldn't you know it, I couldn't sleep because it was so damn dark and quiet!

I'm fine without it, but I like sleeping with some background noise, generally my TV set to a 60-minute sleep timer. Just feels better for some reason.
