Waking up to sounds
 

Hello all,

I have sleeping issues.
I sleep very good, can sleep for 8 hours and wake up relaxed.
However, my body reacts way to extreme to sounds. When a neighbour closes his door too hard, I do not wake up, be groggy and fall easily back to sleep (normal reaction). I wake up with an intense fright fight reacties, my heart goes fast, I am sweaty and have troubles going back to sleep. Suffice to say this is very disrupting, and started since I am on prednisone.

I have tried ear plugs but am prone to ear infections

Can I train myself, my mind, to not react to normal living noises this retarded?

I cannot permit to have sleeping issues, since my neurologics disease can worsen due to sleeping problems, and that can causes severe suffering (and crisis and more)

Please help me
