With a little creativity, you can drown out a noisy roommate.
Living communally with a roommate or in a dorm may require a bit of adjustment on your part. Roommates may not wash their dirty dishes or they may leave underwear strung in the bathroom. It can be even more annoying when they can keep you awake by snoring, blaring loud music or pursuing romantic endeavors when you are in earshot. This rude behavior moves past mild inconvenience when it affects your study time or critical sleep, but fortunately, there are some tricks to drowning out the noise and returning once again to dreamland.
Instructions
1. Employ white noise. If a shut door doesn't do the trick, buy a fan or get a recording that plays more relaxing noises like rain or waves gently lapping against the shore and play that right next to your bed.
2. Buy noise-canceling earplugs to get rid of all the extra noise so you can sleep. This will help if your roommate shares the dorm with you and keeps you up at night snoring or chatting on the phone.
3. Use headphones and listen to your own music, but use caution. You may not totally be able to drown out all the noise from your roommate and blaring music into your headphones can damage your hearing.
4. Block out windows and door frames or shared walls with soundproofing curtains. This will help muffle the sound coming from other rooms.
