I'm surprised that AI didn't tell him that the most likely cause of regularly waking up around 3 am is a cortisol spike. Try some breathing exercises or some other type of stress relief throughout the day, and you might sleep better. In my case, thinking too much about the causes of bad sleep actually contributed to making sleep worse, so if this guy is anything like me then this whole project could be hurting his sl…

Embracing biphasic sleep is also an option if your life permits it

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 they just finished their series A funding yesterday. Sorry to hear you missed out

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...

i find earplugs so uncomfortable that it ruins my night

I was dealing with longterm chronic infections, when my ears were that sensitive.

Is the risk of intruders a real or a perceived problem? How does it weigh with sleep quality? Frankly, my sleep is so poor that if they mind the noise level they can take what they can carry.

Smoke detectors are another reason

I wear ear plugs every night. The disposable foam ones are good enough to prevent me from being woken up by my partner getting ready before me, but I would most certainly hear a fire alarm. I'm laying in bed right now with them in and I can still hear the fan pointed at me. They significantly reduce low-mid range frequencies, but they're not 100% soundproof

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.

There’s no real evidence linking specific foods with ear wax production.

Also, for anyone getting reading this, cotton swabs in your ears is a bad idea and usually makes the problem worse (pushes wax in and compacts it).

AFAIK there is some inflammation potential if earplugs are used all night everyday.

How can anyone sleep with these things? My ears get extremely sweaty and sore after half an hour.

Trash night (early morning) is once a week in my area. You can use the ear plugs strategically.

yeah my wife has some custom made silicon ones. She frequently gets external otitis from wearing them too many nights in a row.
