On: Employers are rethinking open-plan office design

Just a suggestion. Have you considered trying hearing protection to create a “low noise” bubble?

I have a pair of shotgun hearing protection ear muffs next to my bed. I only use them for emergencies when I really need to sleep and neighbors are partying very late. However, putting them on cuts any noise to a mumbling like in the distance.

Not the exact model or make but similar. Not electronic.

yes. and earplugs. that being said the pressure differential sucks and you will also have issues if for example you’re a side sleeper

Thanks for the follow up. Yes, the size of the hearing protection makes sleeping on the side pretty much impossible. I guess that is an acceptable tradeoff, as long as I can get to sleep.
