I'm quite sensitive when it comes to sleep, I wake up really easily and I need silence to be able to fall asleep. Not being able to fall asleep because some other guy is making some noise annoys the fuck out of me. I want to be able to sleep anytime and whatever noise there is.

Some new guy moved next door and he snores like an elephant, I just can't sleep when he's snoring like that. The last two days have been a nightmare basically, I tried talking with him but that didn't seem to help, I tried using earplugs but they didn't help, I could still hear the noise and after a while my mind gets focused on the noise so they sound like louder than they are.

Any tips would be appreciated.

oops

think about something else is the best thing you can do. when i let my mind stray from the noises (like stupid ass clocks for instance) i can easily fall asleep. another idea is to have the TV or music on but not too loud. dont turn the tv to anything too interesting or youll keep turning your head to watch the show (well thats what i do anyway). youll eventually grow use to noise.

stay up for a week straight. you'll sleep like a baby through just about everything

do this every other week for 3 months.

Work out, then masturbate.

I cannot sleep without the sound of my PC on anymore

Incorporate the sounds into your dream. My alarm clock frequently becomes some butch bitch barking orders about this or that and it takes me forever to wake up because I think it's a dream. I need a new, more annoying sound now.

if all else fails, take downers

Noises like the humming of a fan or anything constant aren't so bad, you get used to them within minutes. But snoring is a different beast. It's *way* more frustrating, causing you to think about it on/off nonstop, it's so hard to sleep with someone snoring loudly. I guess just relax enough to the point where you forget about it, and then hopefully you'll fall asleep before you realise again the dude's snoring

Tough one, I hate sleeping in a room with horrible snorers.

As soon as he's about to release his breath and snore again, hit the wall VERY hard. Do it until he wakes up.

my buddy at work (who is in the army reserves) used to have a lot of problems with his neighbors partying or being loud in general. then he tried out some specialized ear plugs he got while training, and he says they worked like a charm.

therefore my advice to you is to join the army, go through a year of training, and then obtain said ear plugs. or go buy them from the store i'm not sure which would be more convenient. but realize that if you opt to get them from the store, you will have to pay for them out of your own pocket. whereas getting them from the army is free. think it over




p.s. fhuta

I'm the same, can't sleep through a thing. Even people changing TV channels in the room across the hall from me, I can hear (when the high-pitched tingling sound the TV makes changes when you change the channel).

Snoring is the ultimate worst since I get really angry at the person and start thinking of ways to kill them to stop the snoring, so as you say it seems louder and louder because you're so worked up about it.
