5 ways to block out noise for the perfect night’s sleep
If you’re all too familiar with the frustration of missing out on sleep because of noises in your bedroom, find out how to shut them out. Whether you’re being kept awake by loud neighbours or woken up by bumps in the night, noise can severely interfere with your sleep. Luckily, there are ways to limit how sounds impact you at night. Here, we run through the options.
Turn on, tune out
Drowning out unwanted sounds is one approach many people find useful. White noise machines are small devices that emit a constant background noise – usually you’re able to choose from options like the sound of a fan, or gentle rain. You can also adjust the volume to suit your requirements, and cancel out anything from your partner's snoring to the neighbour’s dog barking.
Plug in
Using earplugs is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to block out disturbing sounds. Even if you don’t start the night wearing earplugs, keep a pair by your bed so you can slip them into your ears if noise arises.
