Do They Work? Anyone Used One Of These To Get A Good Nights Sleep?

I Have Very Noisy Neighbours They Won't STFU!!!

Makes absolutely no sense, thanks for this pointless input.

rip your walls out
fillem up with foam
or
get that sound proof sheetrock
problem solved

maccsta · 07-16-2010, 07:45 PM

They're brick filled walls; Marpac seems like a better solution. Someone on here must have had the same problem!

When I was growing up, my parents were quite fond of playing Van Halen, Dio, etc all night long during their super awesome rock'n'roll 80's parties. At the time, I had a collection of weird beach towels on my walls and that actually helped deaden the sound from their parties.

Try hanging some thick/dense fabric on the wall(s) that you share with them

I prefer the sound of water to help me sleep. But it looks like that little wind device you linked to might be soothing too.

Spanx!

SO FUNNY, We have one of these for our Twins, I was just telling my wife I think our Daughter doesn't sleep well is because this thing is on all the time. I tell her It keeps me up and I have to go into the nursery to turn it off. Funny, I was just talking about it an hour ago then see it here.

Jakez · 07-16-2010, 08:49 PM

I would file a few complaints first before spending my own money to make it seem like my neighbors aren't loud as fuck..

Jman · 07-16-2010, 09:03 PM

I drink extra sleeping time tea... it works for me ;-)

There's a few places you can dl white noise and other constant sounds free:

http://www.google.com/search?q=download+white+noise

This guy gives you a 35 min free dl of white noise:

http://cantonbecker.com/music/white-...ounds/mp3s.php

Then you just join the two together with an mp3 software to get 70 mins (74 mins is max time for a cd. Burn to a cd. Then play with repeat on, with a player. You now have a free noise machine.

It does indeed work. Turn it up as loud as nec until you hear the white noise more than the outside sound. You will soon nod off.

Dig a little and you can find other ones like rain on a tin roof ect for really loud sounds to block.

Thing is, although the white noise in whatever form (rain on a tin roof, rain on a canvas tent, ocean waves, ect) will also be loud, your mind will tune it out as it is constant. It is unpredictable noise that keeps us awake.

Rain on a tin roof for example makes a lot of racket but is somehow soothing so you can have it loud (to block the outside noise), as it would actually be loud under a tin roof but still sleep. Even sub woofers which are the hardest to block can be blocked sleeping under a tin roof.

There is a little tin roof down by this beach I've gone to..

Cheers or.. good night.

And F inconsiderate, noise producing assholes worldwide.

"I Haven't Slept For 23 Days..."

That's totally physically impossible.
THIS is pointless input "I Haven't Slept For 23 Days"

M0nk · 07-16-2010, 10:00 PM

roll a fat joint an hour before going to bed, have a glass of wine and your problem is solved, you´ll sleep like a fucking baby!!!

CunningStunt · 07-16-2010, 10:28 PM

I went out with a chick for a year or so, she used to sleep with a fan on for the same reason. The white noise whirring lulled her to sleep. Banging her hard for half an hour also helped.

LongBG · 07-17-2010, 01:21 AM

Throwing a brick through the neighbors window may help.

tiger · 07-17-2010, 02:38 AM

I'm guessing you mean you haven't slept well since staying up for 23 days straight without going insane is pretty much impossible.

waltercooper · 07-17-2010, 02:56 AM

it's for tinnitus... and it could work, yes.

ottopottomouse · 07-17-2010, 03:58 AM

If you have got noisy neighbours keeping you awake how is adding more noise going to help?

Jarmusch · 07-17-2010, 05:36 AM

Move out of the ghetto.
