I live in an apartment adjacent to a parking lot where the garbage trucks bang the dumpsters into their holds, anyone have any recommendations besides earplugs, closing my window, and white noise on how to not be woken up by them at 6 in the morning

Ik you said besides earplugs but have you tried rubber earplugs? I live in the exact same situation and do all those things 😂 rubber earplugs work great and I’m immediately knocked out after

Doesn’t that only happen once a week?

I use silicone ones, are rubber earplugs similar/better (I am a side sleeper if that’s relevant)?

Well they do the trash twice a week but for some reason there are other trucks that come in on Tuesday/Wednesday doing whatever they do and that makes almost as much noise, still woke me up
