I often have problems sleeping in Canberra, specifically the chap I rent off has his computer desk 1 very thin wall from where I sleep and thinks its tolerable to play his game while shouting to his friends on voice chat…

I can no longer use ear plugs as repeated ear infections have led to an apparently permenant case of tinitus in my left ear.

Time to move ?

A very large speaker pushed ‘noise-side’ against that very thin with some VERY loud music at a time when he is normally asleep…

Also canberra has less things to do and people here don’t like doing much and are conservative, plus we got less tv channels and etc.

Hmm I think that might be a reflection on you and your narrow definition of entertainment rather than Canberra. You do realise you complain about people not doing much and the lack of tv channels in the same breath?

lol i’m not complaining, im just stating that canberra has less attractions than other cities, shops close earlier and not alot of people like to go out ont he weekday here in Canberra. I’m just trying to point out even on the tele, Canberra is limited. If you don’t tire yourself out you’ll have a harder time trying to fall asleep.

Yes, unless you are near the phone jack and can secretly unplug the cord from the wall to shut him up.

Dry air is harder to breath as it dries out our mucus membranes. Try using a humidifier/evaporative cooler in your room at night.

yes – i agree – i think this is the issue – thanks for all comments – caffeine and lack of exercise of course is a factor to sleep problems but this was not my problem – its definately air quality ..

do you think that the level of dust in the air here in canberra is also contributing ??

I slept fine last night! 😀
Probably because I made the wife sleep in the spare room… (She’s a regular sleep talker/walker)

Not sure about heaviness in the air but our urban services have been very active over the last couple of weeks mowing grass. Could be a minor allergy that is keeping you awake.
I never could sleep in Canberra in Spring but now with the help of some legal medication i sleep like a baby.
