I love silence. Its likely one of the best things ever. I find myself not only enjoying it but needing it to cope with stress. A long week of work and constantly dealing with people, bullshit, people interrupting my thought process. I find when I get home, I just want to be left alone, left in quiet. The hard part is when I don't (two roommates + work being done on the house), like the last few weeks. I get extremely stressed, to the point I get muscle cramps, and lose a lot of sleep. I've even tried exercising daily after work to help cope with stress, and it doesn't help at all.

Wow, I haven't reached that point to where it affected me physically but, yes, I would suggest exercise as well, preferably running or while being in nature.

I need the same thing -- quite unfortunate for my significant other. I need a day of silence a week. I can deal with all the stresses of work / life, provided I get a day to just sleep late, relax, clean, and not listen to anyone else but my own inner thoughts.
