Eye masks and ear plugs…that’s what works for me!
In the middle of the night I may be found wandering aimlessly about trying to find the bathroom (oh, it’s just feet away from my bed…) with an eye mask barely pushed above my eyes and ear plugs stuffed almost to my ear drums.
It all started sometime after I married Joe in April of 1998. I found out he snored. Really. Loudly. And that it really wasn’t a good reason for divorce (kidding….kidding, people!). After nights of tossing about on the couch, throwing pillows across the living room in hopes of hitting the master bedroom door loud enough to jar him… I took the advice of a friend and bought some earplugs. Not long after, I got an eye mask. A really cool, cushy, black eye mask with a nifty little pocket for earplugs. Sweet slumber….
I am a light sleeper. Oh, I still hear Sophie with those ear plugs! Don’t you worry! Besides, her bed is now a toddler bed so she toddles on in here when she is good and ready (which is way too often). The ear plugs dull the sound enough to help me doze. Yet, I can still hear the nature sounds. Crazy, huh? Gotta’ have the rain (“I” would prefer the ocean, but SOMEBODY insists on it raining in here every night because the sound of the waves going innnnn and back ouuuttt just won’t do!).
I totally forgot to add this….so I’ll add it now! Two summers ago–just before my youngest daughter was born–Joe had his tonsils and adenoids removed. The effects it had on his snoring were amazing! Except for some occasional light snoring, he’s pretty much cured. Funny thing…I’m addicted to the ear plugs! I suppose I’m prepared for a relapse.
So, that’s what works for me! Ear plugs and eye masks!
Off to don my superhero mask now!
