Funny segue here. My first trip to the Gulf I was forward deployed to an Aircraft Carrier doing 24x7 flight ops.
I was working 18 hour shifts as a Linguist doing Crypto Tech work. The first few nights I just could not get any sleep. The planes landing were like a huge explosion happening above my head, followed by the ship booming and shaking.
After the first week I got somewhat into a 'routine' where I used headphones from work which muffled noise and propped an extra pillow to help with the shaking. After a month I was sleeping like a baby through it all.
I get a chuckle when people say they cannot sleep because of noise or environment. That's an excuse. Especially if you are a parent and in charge of your household.
As Mop insinuated it has little to do with the surroundings, and one can always get help and work out ways to get enough sleep.
