Is the risk of intruders a real or a perceived problem? How does it weigh with sleep quality?
replyFrankly, my sleep is so poor that if they mind the noise level they can take what they can carry.
A would be intruder did bang on my door at 3am (I guess to test if anyone was in) and I looked pretty pissed off and menacing when I opened the door (ex prop forward rugby player) and they ran off. Maybe not the smartest move on my part.
replyApparently they immediately decided to break into my neighbours a few doors down while people were sleeping.
As I sit in bed at midnight, winding down from my day, this comment gave me a great belly laugh. Thanks!
replySmoke detectors are another reason
replyLuckily smoke detectors and true (loud) emergencies seem to punch right through without any issues.
replyI wear ear plugs every night. The disposable foam ones are good enough to prevent me from being woken up by my partner getting ready before me, but I would most certainly hear a fire alarm. I'm laying in bed right now with them in and I can still hear the fan pointed at me. They significantly reduce low-mid range frequencies, but they're not 100% soundproof
