Exactly this. Every time I have surgery, my family agrees to be my caretakers. I had to recently sleep on my mother's couch for a week after my last double carpal tunnel surgeries. My little sister and her fiancé stayed up til 5am every night, giggling and listening to music and playing video games. Using this method I basically couldn't hear them. Add on a running fan and put a weighted eye mask on and I conked out quickly.
