I live next to a nightclub — how I slept using Loop Earplugs to block out the noise

A woman with dark hair covers her ears with a pillow while trying to sleep to block out the noise coming from the nightclub next door.

As someone who lives next to a nightclub in a city center and sleeps next to a partner who’s snoring seems to shake the bed, good earplugs are essential. However, I’m yet to find a pair that are both comfortable and effective at noise blocking. 

While investing in one of this year’s best mattresses and maintaining excellent sleep hygiene can help you fall asleep faster, there’s little you can do when your bedroom is plagued with ambient noise. My usual foam earplugs either fall out or hurt my ears so much I eventually take them out anyway.
