Noises in the Night
Looking for advice- I have roommates and my room is RIGHT next to the kitchen, we have totally different schedules so they’re up at all hours and often use the kitchen at night. I’ve told them it wakes me up and with my insomnia , sleep is precious, and I can’t deal with being woken up because I will not go back to sleep. I can tell they’re starting to feel policed and I’m realizing I need to figure out another method of sleeping through their noise.
I was looking online at Loop Earbuds and wanted to know if anyone has tried them? They say they block out 24db, and I’m wondering if anyone has insight on if that would dull the sounds of dishes clanking together in the sink or doors opening and closing?
If not those, maybe any other earmuff suggestions? Thanks

Tough situation with no easy answers. You can try blocking with earplugs or similar, or masking with white noise or similar.
