sleep mask and ear plugs

Question
Hi Karel,



In an attempt to remedy the trouble sleeping that I've had for the past ~6

months, I've tried several types of earplugs and light masks. I often wake up

the next morning to the light entering my room or the garbage truck making

noise outside, and find both the earplugs and mask on the floor. I have no

recollection of removing them. I don't think I've ever slept for the entire night

with either one of these on. Advice? Thanks so much for your help.


Answer
Perhaps you should just try sleeping without them and try putting insulated curtains where you hear the noise.  Other than that or perhaps leave on soft mellow music to fall asleep with and awaken, perhaps the music with no words you know doctor office music may just relax you to sleep right thru the noice. try going to sleepnet.com click on forums and you can also read about other problems and post yours, feel free to email again karel
