	Outside, the waterfall portion of the [[~~Recovery~~ Pathway]] not only aims to elevate residents' moods, but the white noise it generates also helps to mask any noise made while entering or exiting the building. Plus, to make everyone more comfortable and avoid other conflicts, wide pathways and oversized common outdoor areas mean residents won't ever be forced too close to each other. In addition, having the bicycle storage and communal trash bins located out of sight of the main living area helps prevent conflicts that arise from how residents use these amenities.

	Cloud Nine Studios has many features designed to help all the residents get along with each other, mostly by avoiding conflict in the common areas and preventing unwanted sounds from disturbing others. Since unwanted sounds from neighbors are the most likely source of conflict between residents in apartment complexes, there is a noise level policy that is strictly enforced; however, this is rarely a problem due to extensive sound controls inside, outside, and between each apartment.

	For those living with PTSD, simply making it through the day is draining, and processing trauma requires even more energy on top of that. Energy and willpower are restored through sleep, so when people get inadequate sleep, they are not able to heal effectively because participating in therapy, regulating their feelings, and maintaining other healthy habits all require resources that were depleted before the day even began. That is why the most important of the healthy habits promoted by these environments is to help residents get regular, high-quality sleep.

	To start, we implemented over a dozen soundproofing measures, from extra-thick walls with offset studs and extra insulation to quieter doorbells, sound-insulated garbage disposals, and industrial hydraulic dampeners to make the convertible beds close softly.

	For light control, windows have either shutters or blackout shades, and all rooms have recessed, dimmable lights. Furthermore, most lights at Haven House and every light fixture in Cloud Nine Studios feature dim-to-warm technology, which means these lights automatically turn from cool white to warm yellow light as they are dimmed, which feels more comfortable and doesn’t interfere with sleep like regular lights do.
