[quote=Anonymous]My DH recently started traveling for work, leaving late-afternoon Sunday and returning Thursday. I lived alone before I was married, but in apartments. Now that I’m older and have children, I find that I’m not as hearty as I once was! I hear every little noise in the evening and at night. I constantly think I hear lurking outside. I’m hyper aware of our house settling in the evenings and wake at the slightest creak or sound. When DH is home, I don’t notice any of this.

We have an alarm system, but even that doesn’t help because it’s the noises that wake me regardless. We have outdoor lights and cameras, but they don’t relieve my hyper-awareness to the noises I perceive to hear outside. I have a loud fan I keep on when I sleep, but I can still hear (or think I hear) the same creaks and sounds.

What can I do? I wouldn’t exactly say it’s affecting my wellbeing, but it makes me feel uncomfortable in my own home when it happens. I’m all ears to any and all advice (pun intended!)[/quote]
