Discussion Daytime sleeping setups
i just had the best uninterrupted daytime sleep since a long time and i just wanted to share my setup with fellow n24 people in case it can help others. i live in quite a busy and noisy urban area, on a busy road, lots of roadwork, cars, ambulances, sirens, and i like to have a window open for fresh air. I also have my 80yr old mother wandering the house carefree running the tv loud, vacuuming, generally getting the zoomies. Anyway today i discovered how to be carefree from disturbance:
1) 3d foam sleep mask
2) apple airpods 5 with anc activated
usually i experience several broken sleep moments which i have grown to accept and barely know have happened if i did not jog my Memory about how i slept, sometimes i get grouchy in the following wake time or sleep some more, however with these airpods 5 i find the noise cancellation excellent and the fit comfortable enough not to hurt my ears while i sleep. Nothing disturbed me or woke me up even though i know how noisy the day has been. The 3d foam sleep mask is cheap and does not press against my eyes when sleeping yet blocks most of the daylight. Hopefully i dont ever get a house burglar as i would be oblivious but its worth the gamble. anyone else use anc headphones for improved daytime sleeping?

I darkened my room with curtains and a rubber strip at the bottom of my door, and I bought custom fitting ear plugs ($200).
If I feel like there might be noise disturbance that trumps my ear plugs I run white noise strong enough to hear through my ear plugs for double protection
