Nap Nanny Versus the Earplug
I sleep with one earplug in my ear. It’s a habit formed 6 years ago when my infant daughter, Kendall, wouldn’t sleep in anything other than her car seat or swing. During a particularly bad stretch, the swing had to be moving. So there we were, my husband and I, lying in our bed wide awake while Kendall slept peacefully in her loudly swaying swing. It was out of my own need for a good night’s sleep that I began my relationship with the earplug.
