3. How to reduce the impact of fireworks noise on pregnant women's sleep

Usually, pregnant women can reduce the harm of noise to their fetuses by staying away from noisy environments, taking appropriate rest, and maintaining a good mindset.

(1) Stay away from noisy environments

Pregnant women should stay away from noisy environments during pregnancy and avoid prolonged exposure to noise to prevent it from affecting the normal development of the fetus. At pregnant woman 4 months, the fetus has already begun to develop hearing abilities. 

(2) Take appropriate rest

During this period, pregnant women should pay attention to rest more and avoid excessive fatigue, so as not to affect the normal development of the fetus.

(3) Maintain a positive mindset

Pregnant women should maintain a good mentality during pregnancy, avoid tension and anxiety, so as not to affect the normal secretion of hormones in the body and the growth and development of the fetus.

(4) Noise reducing bedroom set (mattress + soundproof curtains)

The 'Noise Reduction Bedroom Set' (mattress + soundproof curtains) addresses the sensitivity of pregnant women to fireworks noise through multi-dimensional physical barriers and optimized sleep environments.

The acoustic barrier effect of soundproof curtains

1. Multilayer materials absorb sound waves

Outer layer: High density polyester fiber (density ≥ 500g/m ²) reflects high-frequency noise (such as smoke whistling)

Intermediate layer: Mass damping adhesive (MLV) absorbs mid to low frequency vibrations (such as explosion roar)

Inner layer: porous foam material further attenuates residual sound energy

2. Enhanced sealing

The side of the curtain adopts a magnetic track, which reduces the gap by 80% after closing (the main source of noise leakage in ordinary curtains)

Install soundproof curtains at the top to block sound from entering from above the curtain rod

Vibration cancellation technology for noise reducing mattresses

1. Suspension support system

Independent bagged spring+high elasticity latex layer, reducing structural vibration caused by sound waves (fireworks vibration is transmitted through the building)

Compared to traditional spring mattresses, the vibration transmission rate is reduced by 40% (ASTM E90 sound insulation test)

2. Acoustic foam layer

Add polyurethane soundproofing cotton to the edge of the mattress to absorb lateral noise (such as neighbors' congratulatory sounds)

Surface memory foam reduces turning noise and prevents pregnant women from waking up due to their own movements

Purchase suggestions

Curtains: Choose products with STC (Sound Insulation Class) ≥ 26, such as Nicetown Black Technology Soundproofing Curtains

Mattress: Priority should be given to models with "edge reinforced sound insulation layer", such as Tempur Pedic Adapt+; Models containing surface memory cotton, such as Konfein Graphene.

In addition, pregnant women can also reduce the harm of noise to the fetus by listening to soothing music and maintaining sufficient sleep.

4. Sleep tips for quickly recovering energy after Independence Day gatherings

(1) Keep the bedroom quiet, dark, and cool. Devices such as blackout curtains, earplugs, and air conditioning can be used to create a sleep friendly environment. Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow to ensure that your body receives sufficient support and relaxation during sleep. One hour before bedtime, turn off electronic devices such as TV, computer, and mobile phone to avoid blue light stimulation affecting melatonin secretion and disrupting sleep.

(2) Engaging in some relaxing activities before bedtime, such as taking a hot bath, listening to soft music, reading a relaxing book, doing simple stretching exercises, etc., can help relieve physical and psychological tension and promote sleep.

(3) Place some lavender aromatherapy in the bedroom, as the scent of lavender has a soothing effect on the nerves; Massaging some sleep aid acupoints, such as Yongquan acupoint and Shenmen acupoint, can also help relax the body and mind, and improve sleep quality.
