I'm a light sleeper, every noise tends to keep me up....
To make matters worse.....My husband likes to stay up real late and do all kinds of things like COOK in the middle of the night. The banging of the pots and pans drove me nuts! Plus our next door neighbor (who has a pool) likes to throw parties all the time and lately because their kids have been on break, they've been throwing pool parties late into the night on WEEK DAYS!!
Anyways all the noise has been keeping me up... so recently when I ordered my new face mask (to cover my eyes at night) it came with a pair of EAR PLUGS! Huh, will you look at that. Hello EAR PLUGS! I've been using the new ear plugs every night and it's made such a difference in my sleep! Just thought I'd share..... :)
hugs.....

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...
White sound machines are also good, and during the summer, we use a fan in the bedroom, which helps mask a lot of sounds.
I'm glad they work for you!
For decades I worked the zombie (night) shift. Sleep was a constant topic of conversation; Earplugs were on the top of the list.
I am a very heavy sleeper. I sleep with the TV and lights on. I'm told that this is not good for quality sleep. The weird thing for me is that I wake up feeling disoriented if it is too quiet or dark.
Here's to good sleep for all.

Glad to hear so many also use ear plugs!
