A member asked:
I use cotton as an ear plug when sleeping to avoid external noise and have a more quiet night. any possible harm?

Other options...: Another possible option to avoid noises that wake you up at night is to substitute it with white noise. That may help you drown out other annoying sounds, help you relax, and get you possibly better quality sleep. Try to regularize your bedtime and wake up times. Avoid caffeine at night. Hope that helps!
