Mimitabby and I do the same thing. As someone who's worked graveyard almost all her adult life (and no one make cracks about how long that is!), I've had to use a fan or the air conditioner fan to mask noise. I can't handle earplugs. They are actually a migraine trigger, as the amplified body noises are too disturbing.

On the other hand, Mr. East Hill doesn't snore.
