My foolproof method: eye mask, ear plugs, and then white noise playing through a sleep headphones headband. I could sleep through the apocalypse with that combo. Sometimes when I look at the state of the world, I think I already did.
@lengthynewt WOW… But I can tell you I was in at a Trade school. The next morning so many were talking about the Event that happened during the middle of the Nite. Some one had pulled a Fire Alarm. Me I knew nothing about it as I slept through it all, I am glad it was NOT for a Real Fire emergency.
@Catburd It’s that period of abject terror between when the current employer goes belly-up in a flurry of bounced payroll checks, and the first day on duty at the next employer.
@Catburd Really that is the Period that you are in between Contracts/ Projects. I also work IT. the Only Benefit you get is a W2. you could opt & take a 1099. they will give you a Little more, in the long run it is NOT worth the Problems at Tax time!
Park bench by the beach and a blanket? As popular as those spots are, I just figured all those people were vacationers who forgot their white noise machines.
Well when traveling somewhere I usually sleep in my minivan. Truck engines function as white noise. If in a motel having the fan on all the time on the A/C Heat helps.
Since I now wear hearing aids it makes very little difference, but the wife is prone to use either airplane noise or air conditioner sounds from her from her phone. Generally use an actual ceiling fan if it’s available…
Usually music from the laptop or maybe TV.
The trick is to fall asleep first.
Go somewhere noisy
Listen to Vanilla ice rapping.
@phendrick
Damn… Sure glad I’m not sleeping in your room!
Music from my phone
Too often, the real trick is finding a place to sleep that’s actually quiet.

Listen to 40k lore from soft spoken people. That nerd stuff knocks me out.

PINK NOISE, DAMMIT!
White noise is too harsh. Try pink noise.
Yes, there is such a thing, and yes, it does make a difference.
