Everyone knows sleep is important, but most of the articles I see on how to sleep better seem to assume that their suggestions are all doable. What if you have noisy neighbors? What if you live in an apartment and can't control your environment that much? Ugh!

Ear plugs

DR Jeanne have you ever tried a white noise machine? I am obsessed with mine and put it on when i read or sleep. It blocks out all other noise and is just amazing.

Yes, I have one, but I bought it for the nature sounds, rather than the white noise, which I find annoying. The nature sounds were disappointing. The rain is a deluge, not a nice pitter-patter. I do like the thunder, though. If I'm angry about something I sometimes put it on. Helps to let go of the anger. What works best for me is the portable fan, which I use most nights in warm weather. It drowns out quite a bit of noise without being a problem itself. NOTHING could drown out my noisy former neighbors!

As for ear plugs, I simply can't wear them. I've tried. I'm a side sleeper and they're quite uncomfortable.

Keith doesn't like the ear plugs either. White noise is a problem too. We have one friend that has purchased a fan both times he and his wife stayed here. They never did that in Ashland or in Michigan when they stayed with us, don't know why he needs it now. Maybe he just admits it now that he is older-lol

I know. I just had some Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream.

It seems to be the quiet time of day. We headed out for a walk just as the rain was ending and it stayed clear the entire time

I have a very nice facebook friend who has been through a lot in the last few years since her husband was diagnosed with cancer. I am very happy for her that she is on a dream vacation in Australia & New Zealand. Today I mentioned to Keith that her photos are the worse I have ever seen on FB. Keith discovered I was being kind when he went to FB to look for himself

George · « **Reply #70 on:** March 07, 2019, 04:53:16 PM »

Time to head for the theater.

Be back later.

You would think that with all the technology someone would come up with a better solution. There are noise absorbers available that hang on the walls, but I know little about them. I do know that noise is a very big problem for many people.

I don't find the white noise machine that i have to be annoying at all. It sort of sounds like a loud fan to me. The one I have drowns out noises from other rooms, from outside...

Noise rarely keeps me from falling asleep

vixmom · « **Reply #73 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:11:02 PM »

In fact I fall asleep in front of a blasting tv quite regularly

vixmom · « **Reply #74 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:11:15 PM »

Why is it blasting, you ask?

vixmom · « **Reply #75 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:11:54 PM »

We're old people and can't hear them mutterers and whisperers otherwise

vixmom · « **Reply #76 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:12:43 PM »

But what annoys me is when a loud noise wakes me up, like the idiot neighbors and their all night fireworks

vixmom · « **Reply #77 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:13:07 PM »

Once I wake up from a found sleep I have trouble getting back asleep

vixmom · « **Reply #78 on:** March 07, 2019, 06:13:19 PM »

I had another wake tonight

Sorry. I know only too well how that feels.

I wish Baskin Robbins would bring back their English Toffee ice cream.

Toffee/Heath Bar

Years ago Häagen-Dazs had a coffee Heath Bar flavor I loved. It was a special flavor I have never seen again.

You could take a really good chocolate ice cream and top it with Heath Bits O' Brickle, which you can find in the chocolate chips area.

I should follow my own advice, except I would have to leave the house at 10:30 and I don't need that.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** March 07, 2019, 08:21:12 PM »

I need sleep.
