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...

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

I take ear plugs with me when travelling but I really hate wearing them. I've tried all kinds. Silicone is best. There is a knack to making them a bit more comfortable, but they're still not great. I sleep on my side which probably doesn't help. If I wear them for more than a couple of nights my ears get really sore.

What they're good for is sleeping due to desperation while travelling. I couldn't imagine having to wear them every day at home. That sounds like hell.

That CO2 concentration looks unhealthy, I wonder to what extent it's affecting your sleep quality (as opposed to waking you up). > Measure before you fix In my case, I got a few IKEA CO2 sensors, and after leaving them in the bedrooms for a few days, we found that leaving an outside window slightly open + the bedroom door open, kept the CO2 levels below 600PPM at night. We're 1000ft/300m away from a motorway, but for…

plants plants plants. Most of these are dummy easy to care for, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Clean_Air_Study#List_of_p...

Plants release CO2 at night, though. Not much, but they certainly won't help to remove it unless they are photosynthesising.

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

I don't think it will work out. Dwarf fortress got it right. Cats own you, not vice versa.

I opened the article thinking that it's about the on-call scenario (paging). Something like, I got paged in the middle of the night and let the remediation/mitigation to the agent...

Which makes a lot of sense. Especially non-Tier-1 services.

  Note: Having previously worked at Amazon, certain shifts can be really busy. Busy as in 30-40 pages/incidents over the course of the shift. I sometimes wake up to a "ghost" page, although I left my position earlier this year...

The tinnitus is deafeningly loud with earplugs for me. Better to have a white noise generator or a fan running.

> There’s no real evidence linking specific foods with ear wax production. That’s not what’s being discussed. They asked what I did. This is anecdata. and anecdotally: I no longer make enough wax to see in a month .

You’re free to share your anecdata. But you also shouldn’t be surprised if someone challenges the implications or merits of your anecdata, for the benefit of others that might take it as good advice.

Yes, it’s no longer good advice to

consider switching up environment

or diet/things you’re ingesting,

if you’re generating excess goo known for waste-carrying,

and protection from environmental debris...

Are you serious?

Feel free to struggle until a peer-reviewed study gives you permission not to,

but don’t be surprised if others continue making basic observations and improvements for themselves.

AFAIK there is some inflammation potential if earplugs are used all night everyday. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/advice-wearing-ea...

I guess it depends on the person because I've been wearing them every night for years with no side effects. I use those laser lite ones and use a new pair every night (they're very cheap).

The only downside is you get used to the quiet and it means when I don't sleep with them I get a worse night sleep than I used to. (But I still get a better night sleep with them than when I didn't use them.)

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.

Quies foamies. After wearing military issue 3M foamies around jet engines for years, I bought some of these Quies and were very surprised to discover that they could be made so comfortable, and also long lasting.
