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...

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?
Don't get me wrong but this seems like a first world problem which even I have experienced after my life has got easier. When I was younger, I used to live at a very noisy location and used to sleep like a baby. Also, would late workouts help to aid a better sleep? Tired body falls asleep?

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
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've been using those for a few years. I also cover my eyes with a sleeping mask in the summer. In this part of the world (Berlin) it gets light around 4am in the summer. About 3-4 hours before I want to wake up. I'm sensitive to light, I sleep longer in the winter.
Once I also had automatic blackout blinds, they would slowly roll up before my my alarm rings. All controlled by home assistant, which can read the phono alarm time. Waking up slowly by light is nice :)
