I feel like it’s a pointless waste of time for me idk…

Does it actually help you learn and is it worth it? Or should you just skip it for that day and wait till you don’t feel like death

      Then you need better ear plugs. Not whatever headphones you use to jam out (although there are decent noise blocking in ear ones if you look hard enough) but actual hearing protection. Maybe look into ones for gun range use? If you can bear sleeping in them, there’s also the kind of earmuff hearing protection gear that workers use when working on the airport tarmac.

      Or louder white noise. The whole point is so that you have audio that you can sleep through (and won’t damage your hearing) that makes outside noise quiet enough that it doesn’t wake you up.

      Like seriously what the fuck are your neighbors doing that gets through a good eye mask and ear plugs? Coming inside your room and shaking you?

      At some point I would think it would be enough you could lodge a noise complaint with your landlord, RA (if you’re in dorms), or the local police (using the non emergency number).

      There’s also melatonin and stuff like zzzquil, but those don’t work for everyone and I would be concerned about anything more than melatonin being potentially habit forming.

        I’ve tried various kinds, but the ones that work best hurt too much and I literally cannot wear them. I am a side sleeper, but i don’t even think it would work when lying on the back, unless it’s without a pillow maybe?

        Idk I already sleep in the kitchen/living room, I turn the kitchen exhaust on and put the tv on too. I guess I could put the TV louder but I think then it’s too distracting for me.

        wtf are your neighbours doing

        1. Their kids literally scream at the top of their lungs throughout the night

        2. They slam their doors really loudly to where the whole apartment shakes

        3. they drop heavy stuff on the ground

        4. On top of it all they also wake up around 7am and then scream across the apartment to each other for at least an hour, ensuring I’m not able to sleep in

        5. Apartments here generally have poor noise insulation, I’ve lived in several and even in the better ones I still get woken up

        I am in Europe though, where do you live that it’s hard for apartment neighbours to wake you lol

        Edit: the police here don’t even track don’t people who steal wallets, break in, and assault others if it’s caught on camera… so that’s not an option lol. There is a property manager who is also completely useless. I tried bringing a more minor concern up to him and he basically told me to go fuck myself.

          You’d need someone versed in your local laws to go over what options you may have that way. They might have told you off because your problem was too small?

          But what I can think of is to move out.

          Find a more agreeable apartment. Or, find places in your daily routine where you can get a good nap without getting in trouble or endangering yourself.

            Nah it was a legal advice group for my country, and everyone there viciously attacked me saying those people did nothing wrong and that I’m completely insane for not wanting people to sit on my car etc.

            I think they all just felt personally attacked cause they do the same thing cause that’s my only explanation.

            Everyone here is a scammer. There’s like no way to find a knowledgeable lawyer. Even Google reviews suck and aren’t reliable.

            Do you mean like find somewhere else to nap?

              Yes, find somewhere to nap, or if possible find an apartment with quieter neighbors

                I didn’t see where you had said moving to a different apartment is impossible. Or that there aren’t any spaces anywhere you have access to that is acceptable for a nap. I haven’t read every word written here

          On the earplugs front, custom molded earplugs cost a lot, but are amazing for blocking out noise without hurting.

              If custom molded earplugs are painful, then something went wrong. They should fit with no pressure but also no gaps. I’ve slipped while wiggling my set in place, that’s the only pain I’ve had with them
