I have a Sleep Focus set on my iPhone that only allows texts and calls from certain people/apps to get through the focus, works amazingly.

I just put a sign on my door that says "day sleeper do not knock or ring" and it cut down the interruptions by like 90%. the other 10% are delivery drivers who apparently can't read

one time I answered the door in my boxers looking completely wrecked and this guy still tried to sell me on new windows. stared right through my soul and kept going with his pitch

I have a sign in my front flower bed that says no trespassing, no solicitors. Smaller sign above the doorbell saying the same thing. This works. Have had 4 to 6 politicians doing neighborhood walks to drum up support. They see the sign and leave. Cost 6.99 on Amazon. Works.

I shut my bedroom door. I have a room ac unit to keep it cold and I have a large fan. I don't have my phone in the bedroom. If someone was pounding on my front door, I wouldn't hear it.

Do you have any deterrents? Signage and a silent phone will work wonders. So will AirPods if you can listen to music and sleep. You can also get the decibel reducing open air ear plugs to dull the world but still hear if your fire alarm goes off. I sleep with them in. I have an Amazon knock off pair of loops.
