Man as someone who has hella moist earwax these just look like they're going to impact the f*** out of my ear wax

I used to live next to a main highway, next to the airport, construction always happening. Because of those times, I can't sleep in complete silence anymore. I always need some type of noise.

Maybe a white noise machine that masks the outside noise

Also chamomile tea, blue light glasses (orange lens only), meditation before bed, etc

i’ve lived in front of a train my whole life and haven’t heard it since i was 7

you try heroin?

The best thing you can do to fall asleep is not worry about falling asleep. Do something tedious to keep yourself awake and eventually you'll crash.

The second best thing you can do is get earplugs.

Put in headphones and listen to a podcast

You got ear plugs bro? Changed my life
Just don’t cheap out

This advice becomes pretty useless after a week of 4 hrs sleeps
At the some point youre training your body to be very alert when trying to go to sleep ( i also have a lot of noise pollution).
The only thing that can fix that is a couple nights of natural good sleep

How tf you sleep with headphones
You dont sleep on your sides?

I mean I've been living on 4-5 hours of sleep for the past two years with my "good, natural sleep" coming on weekends, so I guess you're right

I have terrible sleep anxiety and hearing all these suggestions about complex sleep rituals puts me on edge. I tried all of them if they ever stopped working, I was twice as f***ed as I was when I started.

Sleep on my back or stomach but if I do sleep on my side I just take one earphone out

black out curtains are a must. i need minimal to no light when sleeping at night
