Does anyone else go to bed with fingers in ears? I do, ear-plugs do not work for me. It is uncomfortable putting fingers in ears, but far less stressful than waiting for a noise to upset me. Last night, I felt more stressed than usual. Everytime I heard my neighbour's feet above me, I got a sinking feeling in my stomach.
I expect my private space to be a sanctuary of peace and quiet, but this is seldom the case. I am particularly distracted when I am trying to sleep and when I am working. My ears are sore after wedging my fingers into them, but what other solution do I have?
