Sleeping problems

Does anyone on here use eye shades and/or ear plugs to help with their sleep.

I have tried both, as I am a very light sleeper and the slightest disturbance wakes me. I just couldn't get used to wearing either. I got shades and curtains that block all the light from my room, but noise is still a problem.

ima******ger...if you odnt like earplugs, you can try and get custom ones made they fit better and you dont notice them at all...or try a steroe with soothing sounds, you will get used to one common sounds and it is enough to block out regular street noise...usually....

What ones did you use and did they work.

I have to use eye shades when I sleep. Especially right when I am starting to try to fall asleep. I think I got them at an airport gift shop...? sorry not a lot of help

the foam earplugs are better as thy mould themselves into the shape of your inner ear......................

I have fallen asleep before at a friend's band practice on the couch with the drums and amp only 5 feet away.

I have a box fan in my room that I put on high when I am sleeping it drownds out all the other noise and you get used to it since it is a constant noise.

i've given up on sleeping solutions, i can never sleep a full nights sleep, its terrible

**l2elapse** · 11-15-2007, 03:07 PM

i have to have sound when falling asleep

**ecto9** · 11-15-2007, 04:31 PM

I use ear bud headphones and listen to AM talk radio with a low volume

i use both. my favourite earplugs are from 3M... they're very pliable and totally fill your ear canal when you put them in. i only use them if it's a saturday morning and they're doing construction across the street (in vancouver there are always buildings going up) and i want to sleep. i have an eye mask too in case it's too light out and again, i want to sleep in. now that it's winter, not a problem on weekdays. sun goes down at about 5-6 and doesn't come up til like 8.
