    Hello After Hours,

    Street noise, not sleeping and it's driving me mad.

    I've tried:
    - heavy dark curtains
    - wax ear plugs (keep falling out)

    Can anyone recommend any good ideas that work for you?


    Tks 😊

    Is there a certain one? Hopefully one that doesn't need internet to use it

    There could be a full war going on outside my house and I'd sleep perfectly fine

    Are you just a heavy sleeper?

    Yep! It'll get you to sleep. Even if you have to wake to take it off, it gets the proverbial ball rolling.

    So.... either that, or a wallop of a 2 by 4 will sort you.

    There are some breathing techniques that help.Takes a bit of practice but worth trying.

    Should be plenty on YouTube.

    Could you leave it on all night? It's staying asleep is the problem, street noise starts at 5am

    I had another thread last night on this, feel your pain! Seemed to be a lot of good suggestions - I can’t link it as I’m on my phone but the thread title if you want to search it was along the lines of “solutions for sleeping in this humidity”
