Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have custom molded ones. They help a lot, however high pitched sudden noises still get through and wake me up. I never managed to sleep without earplugs since moving to this city. Not considering moving due to the quality of life (apart from the noise)

Are custom molded ones better? I’ve been using swimmers plugs for a few years now and they’ve been fine. Do you use an eye mask too?

They don’t block much more noise but they’re much more comfortable

what a waste of technology. you could have had a pen and graph paper hooked up to an microphone 100 years ago and looked for the spikes in the time set.

Yeah idk why home assistant needed to get involved. I guess to turn the system on and off according to his heuristic.?

Hey, OP, consider sleeping with ear plugs. They're scientifically proven to reduce night time awakenings due to audio disturbances. [1] [1] https://academic.oup.com/sleep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/s...

Yeah, this seems like a way overengineered solution.

I moved to the US 15 years ago and it was too noisey for me to sleep well (fire trucks, cars, etc), but ear plugs solved the problem and are portable to other places you might need to sleep.

I would think earwax build up would increase with that

My suspicion from regular use of ear plugs is that the wax sticks to the plug every night. I use a new set every night. Pretty wasteful, but man, I need my sleep.

I used to have lots of earwax buildup that kept me from using earplugs.

Then I fixed my health.

My mom would love this one :) .. she told me recently about a long-running chat gpt session that she's had for over a week, where she was going back and forth trying to figure out the source of some strange sound in the building.

Maybe take your mother to brunch or something. I am pretty sure it will be better than any chatgpt session she has running for a week

I sleep terriibly. It got 'better', when i worked out i have a 'day', of around 32-36 hours. So, to people kon a regular 24 hour day, I'm tired at the wrong times and wide awake over aboit two of their sleep cycles. Damned annoying, as I've gone out when i should have stayed in - but everyone is out and awake, and viceversa. I've learned to say 'no' to invites I know I won't make. 8 hour working days, suck. For long creative bursts, it's great, though.
