Hi folks. I've had this problem for a long time, which started around the beginning of my CFS. Before that I was a fairly heavy sleeper and could sleep through most things. Now, even the slightest of noises - a creaking wall, an airplane passing in the distance, a bird chirping - can rouse me from my slumber, and sometimes it is difficult for me to go back to sleep after.
I use earplugs and white noise and they help a bit, but they don't block out all sounds. I've realized it's nearly impossible for me to find a completely quiet place to sleep (for a while I slept in a basement and even then I was sometimes woken up by sounds), so want to focus for a while on changing my perception of and sensitivity to noise, if that's possible.
For anyone else with this issue, have you found any solutions?
