    Housemates are going to be noisy- otc sleeping help?
    My housemates are going to organise this game thing from Monday for three nights- these will probably last till early morning.

    I have an exam on Wednesday- and want to get in some last minute revision and ensure I sleep well before the exam.

    If they're going to be noisy ********- It's all well and good telling them to quiet down- but it won't last for long.

    I was wondering if some over-the-counter sleeping help might do the trick maybe?

    ear plugs, pulling the breaker and a nice night cap never fail to work

    I wouldn't suggest it. It could easily make you sleep through your alarm if you don't usually use them.
    I would suggest buying these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40-FOAM-EA...item2c56b1a3be. I have used a similar set for the army when shooting rifles and have used them at night when there was a car alarm outside my house.

    Also it would be worth asking your house mates to be quiet or wear headsets because even if it only lasts a while it could be long enough for you to get to sleep.

    Earplugs?

    I bought a pair for £17 (yes, expensive), but it works.

    I live next to the kitchen in my flat, and can hear everything if I'm having a night in, whilst my flatmates are pre drinking before they go out, and they make so much noise its ridiculous.

    I got myself a pair of earplugs which are used for industrial purposes and they work a treat. They are in-ear ones, so i have no problem sleeping with them on too.

    Problem solved.

    1) Get headphones/earphones
    2) Play the following song on loop
