Resolve To Get More Sleep

By Kimberly Shane
Resolve to Get More Sleep
“A New Year, A New You” “365 New Chances” “A New Year is the Beginning of Anything You Want” When I looked up quotes about a new year these are a few I found. They all center around possibility and positive change. For one, I’m not big on new year’s resolutions because I know for me, if it is really something I want to change about myself then why wait until January 1st to start? But for the rest of the world I know they are out setting goals for 2018! Many have a resolution to try and get more sleep. After all, isn’t that the best medicine?!
           
So, let’s say you do it, you decide to go to sleep an hour earlier every night. But your neighbors don’t, in fact, it seems like they are being louder than ever? What, did they lose some of their hearing over the holidays and now they must blare the TV? Not to worry, there are solutions to dampen some of that sound! Thanks to an article published by Spruce I get to share some tested ideas with you to solve this issue.

Weather proofing your front door will keep sounds from the hallway from intruding your space. By adding a door sweep, you will eliminate any gap allowing that noise in.

Add a black out curtain over the front entrance to absorb any noise that leaks through the door. The only downside is it could create a trip hazard when you are in a hurry to get inside… you know when you don’t want to stop and use the restroom and you can, “just hold it, until you get home”.

Noise ricochets off hard surfaces so if you place textiles strategically, as pictured above, you will cut down on the possibility of noise bouncing back and forth off the walls. The down side is, your home will end up looking like the picture above and you will have to find a vacuum that can do your ceiling.
 
Or you could consider purchasing a home of your own, with space away from noisy neighbors! Within each home exists laughs, endearing moments, important discussions, and memories that last a lifetime.  Allow us to help you achieve your dreams of homeownership for your family.
