How to Train Yourself to Go to Sleep Earlier

Ugh. Does that affect the other people around you?

Asking because I live with a relative who has a similar problem (needs a tv on to fall asleep) and that noise directly stops me from falling asleep in the next room much of the time.

It really sucks. :(

I live alone so no :)

If it was bothering other people around me I'd listen with my airpods.

Interestingly, my parents who are in their 60s, have no problems getting to sleep early, and they both fall asleep together to TV all the time, mostly watching reruns of old shows like Columbo

As said relative to do what I do. For the last 30 years I've fallen asleep with one earphone in my ear. I nod off quick, wife not disturbed.

Unfortunately, the relative isn't receptive to requests nor negotiation. Oh well. :(

I take that back. For the first time ever, last night the relative actually turned down the volume without cracking the shits, turning it up instead, etc. (!)
