Re: How to stop the sensory assault?

I agree on the shades–but they don’t need to be too expensive. My wife bought drapes with a solid backing (like a hotel), and they work great. In fact, it’s sometimes hard to get up in the morning.

On the A/C and other external things, there’s always white noise generators, and you can time your a/c or fan to shut off 30 minutes before you wake up (if they don’t have built in timers, use one of those light timers (vacation thingy) you can get at a hardware store). A white noise generator might be better than the earplugs.

My wife has SAD (seasonal affective disorder), and she bought this alarm clock that gradually lights up in the morning, and slowly sets at night. It’s expensive, but it makes a big difference. (http://www.amazon.com/BioBrite-Sunrise-Clock-Advanced-Charcoal/dp/B00196LFIU)

Can’t help with the morning breath, but try changing your diet or mouthwash and keeping a bottle of water by the bed.
