    Buy screens for the windows, open up the vents, close the curtains and put in ear plugs. :p

    Not good enough; i want to know if there's a way (well, actually i'm pretty sure there is a way, but i don't know) how to make/keep the sleeper pitch dark, quiet and warm/cool without letting in light or noise. When you open up the vents, you let in light and noise.

    And whoever's idea it was to put the dam windows in the top of the condo i like to shoot, but we'll get to that later......

    I always wanted to get the Bose headphones and work it into the trucks soundsystem. The pickup microphone could be installed outside. Then no matter who parks by you the Bose system would play the anti noise and it would seem as quiet as it is here in Maine. So quiet you can hear the flap sound that a crows wing makes.

    Anything can be done with enough time, work, and money. So, how far are you willing to go?

    Remove upholstery, add insulation, then reinstall upholstery?

    Engineer a ventilation system with ducting that places fans and filters at enough distance so that the noise is not noticed?

    Tint the windows in the condo?

    Replace the sleeper with one that has such provisions from the factory?

    Add your own vents that are shielded from light?

    Stop driving, move into an apartment next to a fire station in a major city; conditioning yourself to sleep through sirens at 5 minute intervals, traffic noise, and streetlights; so that when you return to driving you can sleep through any amount of noise and light?

    Do you have a problem with sleeping in a kiddie pool full of ice water? It would keep you cool without fans, noise, or light. :)

    Are you willing to compromise on any your design parameters?

    How much are you willing to pay for the solution?

    LOL, I don't even close my curtains anymore. Sometimes I hang a blanket between the drivers seat and the pass seat if there's light directly shining on me, but otherwise. I sleep like a baby.
