All he had to do is buy a sound machine for $60and problem would be solved. So simple but he made overly complicated.

#102Hey, 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...
Don't listen to him– he is a cat burglar, and you being deaf at night helps him steal your cats.
Is there such a flourishing black market for subtracted cats that would prompt burglars to steal these pets?

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 recommend these: Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs. Can be found on Amazon. Block out A LOT of noise. They’re little putty molds that you shape to fit your ear. I also rip them in half before molding so I get 2 ear plugs from 1 putty.
Wax-style earplugs like you describe are the only kind that a friend of mine uses. The foam ones never fit them.

I would think earwax build up would increase with that
I can confirm. I also use in-ear headphones daily which I think exacerbates it further. It can be fixed by an occasional ear wash though.

I have fallen into the (questionable) habit of sleeping with Airpods. I used to wake up with my mind racing and not be able to fall back asleep. The Airpods helped distract and sedate my midnight thoughts such that I would fall back asleep much quicker than without. I've progressively shifted towards falling asleep listening to the droll of engaging non-fiction, but keep them in my ears in noise canceling mode with no media for the remainder of my night.
Again, not medical advice, just anectdotal experience..
Edit: this is entirely due to the 'Stop playing when falling asleep' function of iOS 26, which I loathe. But this feature barely make it worthwhile.

I used to have lots of earwax buildup that kept me from using earplugs. Then I fixed my health.
What did you do to fix your earwax buildup?
Leave the environments that stimulated it.
Stop eating the foods that stimulate it.
I now have visible production on a tissue or cotton swab once a week or fewer.

#108Plot twist: the existential dread of an AI-ified world where "AI" is the answer to everything was what was waking him.
You're joking, but the other night I had high fever and had nightmares of AI giving me wrong answers to questions I already knew the answer, but for some reason I kept insisting on writing the same prompts I didn't even needed over and over again.

#110Hey OP, would love to know more about your thoughts on Garmin you reference at the bottom? Why would they be any better/worse than Coros? > *= I do not like Garmin, I think they're a fraudulent company systematically breaching consumer rights and I'm looking for alternatives. Already converted multiple people to Coros.
I'm curious about this too. This is the first time I've heard of Garmin being a bad company.
