People have all kinds of sensitivities to noise. The people who say "get over it" sadly don't necessarily understand that physiology DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY, TRULY, IT DOESN"T. That said, I don't know what can be done about it, especially if the above poster is correct in that the planes *are* already going over Harvard Square (and West Cambridge, as well, for all we know)?
I sleep with earplugs and an eye mask, on top of memory foam, which is probably a bit shock-absorbing, and take light sleep meds with occasionally something stronger. I also have light-blocking shades. My bedroom is on the side of the house with the busy street and two bus lines that stop outside my door (which woke me up pretty constantly when I first moved here, particularly when they announce the bus number and where it's going), and I sometimes had a hard time sleeping before I lived here, but these things eventually helped. Not that I would suggest medicating her right now, but perhaps ear plugs might help, at least for the time being? Or putting on some soothing music on repeat? Sometimes chamomile tea helps, too. I am wondering if she might eventually adapt if a bit more attention/soothing is applied now--I did, but that doesn't mean she will (here's hoping).
