Way OT: Ear plugs to sleep in

[dbnm]

I have a cat. His name is Jack. Jack is 18 years old and I've had him for 17 years.

Jack likes to meow and cry at between 5am and 6am every damn morning.

He is incredibly lovable and in perfect health.

I need some great ear plugs to help sleep through the noise. Recommendations?

i would never be able to sleep in ear plugs all night.

consider a white noise machine.

they are a godsend for me.

These are very comfortable.

We need a picture of Jack.

Does he do it because he wants his breakfast? My 19 year old Nyx often wakes me up for that reason. (one of the drawbacks of having a cat that prefers canned food instead of dry food)

White noise machine.............game changer........

[dbnm]

Yes, jack does it to wake me up for breakfast. canned food only. and we have a dog that loves to eat it as well.

3M model 1100 work the best for me.

After many years of living in an urban setting and sleeping with earplugs due to significant street noise, I moved to the suburbs and expected to ditch the earplugs. No luck, all the cursed nature sounds (birds chirping, water dripping, coyotes howling, turkeys gobbling, crows squawking) kept me awake just as much as the 530am garbage truck or city bus. Back to earplugs!

The 3M 1100's are the best.

I'd rather be up all night then have to look at this thing.

Embrace the cat. He knows what's good for you.

Go to sleep earlier. Get up with Jack.

Seriously...

[redir]

Jack is your master you would do well to do as Jack says =^,^=

[dbnm]

I've been getting up early but I am not happy about it.

This is old man Jack and his old man pal.

HA.....the design looks like something straight out of the 60's.....but it's function or form, and plus I put it right underneath the front corner of the bed so it's out of sight.

God forbid it sit on the nightstand and clash with the throw pillows....the horror......

I have a dog, Damsel. She is about 15. She does this whining thing every morning, around 3am. I hear it and wake up. If she coughs, I hear it and wake up. If she grumbles, I hear it and wake up. I wear ear plugs every night, have for years.
You can wear them, but you'll still wake up. You may not hear the trash truck, or the neighbors dog, or other things, but you'll hear Jack.

Go to your local drugstore and try one of the many inexpensive foam earplug options they offer. The decibel level will drop, but you will still be able to hear noises. Use in conjunction with a white noise machine or a room fan.
