Thread: SP and outside Noises

Are you using WBTB? Aside from making WILDs much easier, I doubt your parents will be making any noise at four in the morning.

my dad has a pretty bad cold atm and itll pass onto my mum for another 2 weeks so im looking for some sorta help xD

Maybe "white noise" (i.e, like the sound from a fan) would help drown out the outside noises while not keeping you awake.

well i do keep my computer running at night for scans and updates etc and it has a pretty loud fan, a good constant sound as well so i can hear changes in my consciousness, but ill try these new earplugs y mum gave me, u squish them then they expand in ur ears... feel pretty good! xD

nyt nyt xD

I'll vouch for the earplugs that squish up in your ears. They work surprisingly well. My cat was meowing at me early this morning while I was wearing them. He was in the same room and my cat is half siamese so he's loud. But I could barely hear him! So I'm sure that if all you have to deal with is slight noises like the movements of your parents in another room, these will probably work very well for you.

yeah they worked well for me but now i seem to think about the sound of my heart beating in my ears if you know what i mean... can anyone suggest a method or two for ignoring this noise?

cheers

You could always not ignore your hearbeat and simply slowly count every so many beats.. "1 - I'm dreaming, 2 - I'm dreaming, etc." or you could try to focus on creating a dream scene in your mind (how it looks, how it sounds, how things feel, etc.).
