I don't need this to know what wakes me up during the night: my wife pushes the door and THEN turns the doorknob. A simple conversation was no good. My MIL said on her experience deep conversations would not help either. At least it didn't help for 15 years.

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...

Maybe I've seen too many horror movies, but aren't you concerned about not hearing an intruder and being able to respond? Maybe I'm paranoid. :)

i find earplugs so uncomfortable that it ruins my night

Get custom fitted ones at an audiologist. They are very comfortable, at least in the upward facing ear, for me. Foamies are only tolerable a couple of nights for me.

Do they suppress as much noise?

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.

As I sit in bed at midnight, winding down from my day, this comment gave me a great belly laugh. Thanks!

can't we all agree they're BOTH terrible?

Both are fuel for the other. The romance is amusing.

Can't we all agree LLM users are only "AI" curious, and not to kink shame those that lose $200k to their hubris. =3

A would be intruder did bang on my door at 3am (I guess to test if anyone was in) and I looked pretty pissed off and menacing when I opened the door (ex prop forward rugby player) and they ran off. Maybe not the smartest move on my part.

Apparently they immediately decided to break into my neighbours a few doors down while people were sleeping.

lol, my husband does the same thing… I told him I can’t see the door at night and sometimes walk into it, so we leave it open at night, solves the problem.

Smoke detectors are another reason

Interesting. I may need to add some sensors. I spend time in two places. San Juan Islands WA and Santa Cruz, CA. On island, nights are too quiet. During the day, a float plane a mile away sounds like it is next door. In Santa Cruz, the house is on a major street. Busses, ambulances all sorts of yahoos. I sleep better quiet. But I sleep even better when settled - mind not going, etc. I generally don’t sleep well at al…

I find my mind goes straight to settled if my phone and all configurable electronics are in a completely separate room. Its like I give up seeking more stimulation.

An off topic addendum - those are 2 very nice places to be. Maybe someday.
