This usually only happens when I am sick or tired but not always. Occasionally I hear my phone ringing (it's a video game song so it's unique) or what sounds like voices through a door. Usually there's white noise happening at the same time. It's hard to tell if it's because of the white noise or not because my apartme...

I recently started my postgraduate degree (research).
