Same. Well mine is “space deck” but I don’t think I can sleep without it anymore. Even the smallest of noises interrupt my attention to sleep. Like the fridge on the other side of the house. Or the ps5 in sleep mode on the lounge. Wish there was an off switch for my ears.
I loved my last job because I got to cycle to work. 12 miles in and out. We had showers and secure bike parking at work which made a huge difference too.
So much better than pubic transit and even better than motorbiking which I used to do for decades before getting the pedals out.
Oh yes black out curtains are a life changer. I added secondary glazing too to cut down sounds.
“Alexa play space deck” (it’s by Sleep Jar(free or paid) don’t know if you need to enable it 1st). Definitely My favourite.
I started listening to it whilst reading The Expanse series and I went to sleep thinking I was aboard the Rossi.
