I’m sure my mum uses lavender oil to get to sleep but she puts it on her pillow, I might try that out but I also plan on moving out of here in a couple of months. Never knew that about the feet but got a feeling if I did rub it on i’d break my neck on the varnished floorboards when I got up the next morning, oooh!!

LOL No I am not telling you for laugh, but it is sort of funny. winks. I sell Essentail Oils. I have always had trouble sleeping, and now that I have lavender I sleep like a baby. I would be happy to send you a sample. I put it on my feet every night and a dab behind each ear and on the back of my neck. Our feet have the largest pores on our bodies so the oils absorb very quickly there. It won’t stop you from being woken by noise though.. so you would still need to employ those other ideas too. I love lavender it is one of my favorite Essential Oils.

Hey Dani

I was just thinking about this post as today, only an hour ago, drilling has started by a water company on my street, lovely sound on a summer’s evening. I don’t know what’s under that bed but i’m not going to look. How does lavender oil on my feet help though..I think you are telling me to try this out for a laugh.

I think the boards is an excellent idea..that’s what I was going to suggest but since it has already been suggested I will move on… I think your landlady doesn’t want you to move the bed because she could get the chalk outline off where the body was… and she doesn’t want you to know someone died there..hehehehehhe. I sleep with ear plugs regularly.. the kind I use are the little foamy ones. they are the best that I have found. Also perhaps try some essential oils (lavender) on your feet at night helps you to sleep well. But really those sound proofing boards will probably do the trick.

Woh, I have never heard of this one before. Some great reviews by people on Amazon as well, I think this one will be getting a try. Thanks for that Janene.

Gary, we swear by a white noise machine. It takes a little getting used to, but really cuts down on the noise. Here’s a link to the one we own. Maybe it’d work for you? There’s nothing more rotten than a bad night’s sleep. Okay, there are more rotten things, but it still sucks. Good luck!

My neighbours have been known to blast Freebird through the walls at 4am, nice if you are in the mood I suppose -well they were in the mood anyway.

Exercise is a good one and I do sometimes do that if I can find the energy but of course the downside is that exercise gives you cancer (so i’ve read) so it’s 50/50. Drinking heavily is a winner over the short term, sometimes helps me sleep for days

The frying pan sounds like an ideal solution, I will make an appointment with my doctor and see if it’s a good option, I’ll say it was your idea though.

I have a neighbor upstairs who uses her “personal massager” at all hours of the night, and that thing is FREAKING LOUD. I’ve been meaning to write a post about it…

Have you tried exercising? I find that a good workout a few hours before bed really knocks me out. And drinking…heavy, heavy drinking. Both are equally healthy, right?
