The day is done and all work and boxing training has ceased; after dinner and maybe some television or a dinner out with friends, the night time is for sleeping. Or it’s supposed to be anyway. Not where I live. Yeah, yeah, I know that Atlantic City is one of the cities that never sleep, as some might suggest that maybe I forgot to read the memo before I moved here. Uh, hello, I’m native Atlantic City resident if you haven’t figured that out yet already.

It’s not my fault I have trouble sleeping, but over the years, I have come up with many non abusive ways to combat sleep deprivation.

Tips for sleeping in Atlantic City if drugs and booze are not an option.

1. If you can afford it, rent a place that has sound proofed walls. And that’s pretty much for anywhere in the city proper.
2. Do not live close to the boardwalk. Get as far into the residential districts as you can. Trust me; the locals are far less noisy than the tourists. Sure, there is gang related activity, but almost every city has that. Not every city has tourists. Correction, they just might, but I am sticking to my first judgment call on this one.
3. If you have to live near the boardwalk, earplugs – earplugs – earplugs. I can’t stress that enough.
4. Find as music station or cd you like and play it at night, every night, along with one of those white noise machines.
5. Heavy curtains, draperies o block out the light if you are fortunate enough to be able to catch a nap in the day time.
6. It would also be helpful if there were certain family members, whose honor you didn’t obsess worry over so much.
7. Rinse, later, repeat as often as necessary.
