Put on whatever nature sounds you prefer. Rain, crashing waves, thunderstorms; all of these have helped me as a graveyard worker with earplugs in plus the background nature noise to help mitigate when lawnmowing or leafblowing is happening outside my apartment.
Rain and thunderstorms used to be nice for me… used to.
7ish years ago we (wife and I) rescued a pitbull mix. Well three of them, but only one has an issue.
Wind, planes, rain, thunder, all of that kicks on the fight or flight response to 110%.
If she is crated, she will try to bust out to the point of injuring herself. At our hold house we had a two story, she broke through a banister spindle and nearly fell to the ground floor. Hard wood. Would have been bad. We’ve found her in the top loading washing machine - it was closed. She will try to go through solid objects. Walls, doors, windows, whatever.
CBD is about the only thing that helps her. We’ve tried various medications through the vet, even one they use as a sedative per-surgery.
Its been raining here for about two weeks, on top of other issues in life, and I have a migraine that may just kill me at this point. Not to mention sleep deprivation.
Also, as current day shift at my new job - I hate it, I want to go back to graveyard shifts, lol. Though, I did get some comments when I stopped at a liquor store right after they opened. Once they realized I worked overnight, they used it to mess with OTHER customers, lol.
Luckily my dog was a puppy with noisy kids so he doesn’t get too stressed by thunder. He does go to his doggy bed and growl really low to ward off the demons
