For the attention of all fellow light sleepers and all others who may be interested:

Some time ago on this Board there was a thread about the disturbing effects of night-time noise, especially in LOS. The annoyance,to some, of constantly barking dogs instigated it.

In the ensuing discussion on earplugs I praised the Boots product 'Muffles' as being the most effective that I had ever used. These were wax.

These have now been replaced by a new and more advanced product: Boots 'Soft Silicone Earplugs.' These are even better than Muffles, in fact they are incredible.

They are a bit more expensive, but can be halved with one half in each ear, without loss of effect, and can be used many times over.

Boots do online sales.

i prefer to give the neighbours dogs large chocolate bars, end of problem .

Then i can sleep with my ears open and catch the other half going through my pockets

Big fan of muffin but will try the silicon, thanks

Muffles are good, but if these are better then it's good news.....thanks for the info.

Thanks very much for sharing the info - I use earplugs to sleep every night. Great news!

I find ThaiBev's "Chang" to be very effective at screening out unwanted noise.

Do you empty the contents of the bottles before putting them in your ears?
