Dark, yes. Silence, no. I need white noise to mask everything else, because any time I hear something or think I hear something, I wake up. But thankfully my bedroom has no windows, so if I close the door it gets dark as a tomb in there. I just have to remember go to bed early enough that I'll be in deep-sleep when my next-door neighbors are mowing the yard, because my little freestanding garage-turned-apartment is right on the property line and whenever they trim the sides of my building, there's only about a red brick wall, some 70's-era wood paneling, some insulation, and about a foot, maybe two feet of distance between the mower blades and my head.
This is one of those things that makes me so glad I live alone.
