I’ve worn earplugs for years because my husband snores. But he recently got a CPAP, and the snoring stopped overnight, it was quite amazing. So I decided to try going without earplugs. I can sleep, but I don’t think it’s as restful; we have three cats and an elderly dog, and the dog is so loud! She snores, rolls over, snuffles, and goes outside for a midnight pee. So I’m back to using earplugs again and I seem to be getting deeper sleep. Sigh.
