Can we turn the ignition key and switch the car off?

A fan would be great for white noise and letting you close your window. Another option would be sleeping in a different room in the summer. Perhaps your basement would be cooler and quieter?

There are white noise apps for your phone. I have been using an app actually called white noise on my android for years. Since it is on my phone I can take with with me and use it regardless of where I am sleeping.

Before i found the app I had a small 6 imch fan I would run at night to make my white noise.

How does it put people at risk? The only situation where it might increase danger is if you just happen to have a stuck accelerator at a time when you need to stop the car as quickly as possible to avoid hitting someone. What are the odds?

Edit: also, considering that 96% of people drive cars with an automatic transmission, putting it in neutral if even more pointless.

or you could put a large pot next to the counter, then slide the glass off the edge, using the pot to catch the water.

Especially early on, look into long life pantry items. Rice, pasta, flour, salt and pepper. All of which is cheaper if bought in bulk.

You can technically make a meal with just that if you had too, but using that as a building block you can do a bunch.

Telling people to use the emergency brake when it's not necessary is really bad advice. It should only be used when the car is in motion if the brake pedal isn't working as it can cause you to lose control of your car.

I've been driving and working on cars for 35 years and am fairly certain you are lying about your experience based on that shitty nugget of advice alone. Why the fuck would you use the e-brake with working brakes and the car in neutral?

Honestly, I fantasize about violently destroying people's speakers in front of their face, and the satisfaction helps me sleep.

Interestingly, when the noise is on the weekend, it doesn't disturb me as much, because I don't get angry, because I feel like people have a right to party on the weekend. Likewise, I'm unbothered by crying babies, barking dogs, and construction. It's my anger at people being inconsiderate that keeps me awake.

I've also found that it helps to get into as deep a sleep as possible-- when I've done hard physical work, taken a hot bath, and/or eaten a lot of carbs before bed, I sleep through noise that others complain about the next morning. And no, that's not my snoring.

Don't do this. This is stupid and puts yourself and others at risk.

Play a full season of a show on your device even though you're not watching it?

That's egregious to me.

Pop in neutral, hit e brake, brake and pull over and turn off the engine and inspect. If you think the improvement is .minimal then you have no real experience with cars. Sorry, been driving and working on cars for 20 years bro.

You'd be surprised how many children are not taught about death. When my MIL died, one 8 yo was not allowed to attend the funeral bc she was "too young"

Taxi line worked really well at LAX, compared to the apps. In Chicago though I paid almost $20 more and the driver also complained about a $10 tip on a $55 ride. Ride apps are good because they tell you the price BEFORE you get in, cabs can be cheaper but you don’t truly know until you’ve arrived at your destination

My recommendation is that you try the white noise machine before you buy it. I made a mistake of ordering one from Amazon and although it was very highly rated, the noises it made were annoying to my ears, as they were very "metallic" and they gave me goosebumps. I like Headspace for an app. It has meditations, but also things for helping you sleep and white noises that are more "organic", like rain, wind, rustling leaves, etc.

Ear plugs are a good start if you can tolerate them. I find that a cheap pair of foam earplugs can stop a lot of noises and significantly reduce the volume/irritableness of everything else.

Check what's happening with your feet. If your arches let your feet pronate inward, it starts a chain reaction all the way up your body. I benefited from those dr scholl orthotics.

As far as relief, my wife taught me the following yoga trick. Bend over and grab your shins. Bend one knee and lift that heel (all the weight will shift to the other leg). Then, do the other side. Alternate a few times. Then stand up.

When you do that, your pelvic bone is tilting left, then right, then left, etc. Somehow that helps that lower back area reset or allows the cartilidge to reposition.

Good luck

I've used both a stand alone device and app for white noise. I think a plugged in device provides a more encompassing sound that fills a space.

I grew up on a county road in the rural Midwest, and now live in a suburb near a (admittedly not super) busy road. White noise is a blessing. Unless somebody is bumping big bass out of their car...

I would recommend ear plugs. If they do not work for any reasons (inconvenience, hate for hearing one's own heartbeat), I would just buy a fan.

Or you do trick your mind in working in the noise in your sleep. Like for me when the garbage truck comes and pulls up backwards it's like 20minutes of high pitched beeping. I wake up a little and turn that beeping into a story which I will make up.

If it's too hot outside and you MUST open your window, still try to leave it shut and have a small bottle with water ready that you iced before in the refrigerator. Then put it into your crotch or between your legs. If you still got hair, you can also wet your hair before going to sleep.

If the bass is bothering you, welp, I would like an answer to that as well.

If you can sleep with headphones on, I find it helps a lot (combined with white noise/rain sounds etc)

It may be caused by constipation. Really. Make sure you visit a toilet daily and without effort.
