I've heard that people feel more relaxed when they hear the background of people chattering (we are really social animals lol) so that might explain why white noise it seems to be commonly needed to sleep, but is it really a universal thing?
Karma is the total upvotes - downvotes across all posts made by an account on reddit; on the fediverse there is only upvotes (likes or boosts depending on implementation) and downvotes (dislikes) per post. Theoretically you could calculate it for your account, but because you cant display it anywhere (and it isnt used for anything) it wouldnt be of much use.
I like having the window open during the night to provide white noise, and last week was actually some nice weather. This week that isn't possible due to the smoke :(
