These have saved me from losing sleep on my travels so many times. First, finding myself in a hotel nextdoor to a synagogue that hosted loud children in their yard at 7am singing dreidel songs at full volume. And now, this moment, finding myself at a boarding school where my dorm mate is a 55-year old woman from Norway, our beds two feet apart. I adore her, we squeeze hands goodnight before bed, but she listens to loud podcasts while she sleeps and snores abundantly. I almost stopped loving her. But then, I just click on the noise-cancel feature and everything disappears.
are you often surrounded by loud sounds that make you angry? cop some over-ear noise cancelling headphones, put them on with some ear plugs in and pipe some white noise into them. Someone could be screaming in your face and you can’t hear them. it’s like walking around with your head in an invisible air conditioner.-
