1, wear earplugs.
When sleeping, earplugs can effectively block external noise. Using earplugs and white noise machine at the same time will have better sound insulation effect. Earplugs can be bought in many pharmacies or online. When you wear earplugs for the first time, you may feel a little uncomfortable. It takes some time to get used to it.
Wash your hands before wearing earplugs to avoid ear infection.
Twist the earplug with your fingers, slowly pull out the earplug and remove it.
If an earplug doesn't seem to fit your ear, don't force it. Each brand of earplugs has a slightly different shape. You can try other brands and find the product that suits you best.
Know the risks of earplugs before using them. Pulling it out too fast or plugging it too deep may cause the eardrum to rupture. Earplugs can also bring bacteria into the ear canal, which may lead to infection. In addition, earplugs may make you miss important sounds, such as alarm clock, smoke alarm or the sound of someone breaking into the house.
2. Play a little noise to distract your attention.
If you don't have a white noise machine or fan at hand, you can use some furniture to divert your attention and cover up those annoying noises. Television or radio can block out the sound outside, but researchers say that leaving the TV on all night will affect natural sleep. To achieve the best results, researchers suggest setting a timer to ensure that the TV or radio will automatically turn off at a specific time.
3. Use white noise. The power of frequency components of ambient sound, such as white noise, is uniform throughout the audible range. These soft sounds can be used to cover the sharp and loud sounds that human beings can tolerate.
White noise can reduce the auditory difference between common background sounds and sudden noises (such as slamming doors or car horns) and prevent them from interrupting sleep.
You can buy a special white noise machine, download white noise online, or sleep with an electric fan on.

Over-the-counter sleeping pills can help you sleep, but they are not the best solution. You may become dependent on them, which is not a long-term solution.
