Is the risk of intruders a real or a perceived problem? How does it weigh with sleep quality?
Frankly, my sleep is so poor that if they mind the noise level they can take what they can carry.
- lsaferite 6mo agoAs I sit in bed at midnight, winding down from my day, this comment gave me a great belly laugh. Thanks!
- vlod 6mo agoA would be intruder did bang on my door at 3am (I guess to test if anyone was in) and I looked pretty pissed off and menacing when I opened the door (ex prop forward rugby player) and they ran off. Maybe not the smartest move on my part. Apparently they immediately decided to break into my neighbours a few doors down while people were sleeping.
- CalRobert 6mo agoSmoke detectors are another reason
- Zetaphor 6mo agoI wear ear plugs every night. The disposable foam ones are good enough to prevent me from being woken up by my partner getting ready before me, but I would most certainly hear a fire alarm. I'm laying in bed right now with them in and I can still hear the fan pointed at me. They significantly reduce low-mid range frequencies, but they're not 100% soundproof
- jaggederest 6mo agoLuckily smoke detectors and true (loud) emergencies seem to punch right through without any issues.
- bityard 6mo agoYou will never not hear a smoke alarm while wearing ear plugs. They are effective at attenuating noise, ineffective at eliminating it.
- Waterluvian 6mo agoExcept for me… I sleep through smoke alarms without any earplugs or medications. :/
