Re: My miso gives me boyfriend and sleep problems

[Guest guest]

Jane, I would suggest a white noise machine at night, which will help mask the

sounds. Another technique is to sleep head to foot, so there is more distance

between your ears and the breathing sounds. Best of all is to just sleep on the

couch or in a separate bedroom. I am a light sleeper and if my husband is

breathing loudly it keeps me awake. If your boyfriend really loves you, he will

get over the not sleeping together thing. Your lack of sleep will just make you

irritable and resentful of him. It is much more important to get enough sleep

than it is to sleep in the same bed. It doesn't mean you don't love him.

that incident and i think it's quite conclusive in my self-diagnosis.

Hi Jane!

Welcome to the group! It's tough. That's one of the problems that many of us are trying to find an answer to.

Maybe during the day use ipods. It will help take the edge off of the trigger sound. I understand, from what Dr. stated, use ear plugs very sparingly. They can cause more problems if used too much. Pink/brown/white noise when you sleep might help a little.

I'm sorry, I'm still learning as well, but maybe this might be helpful.
