To help you sleep, you might try earplugs.  Another alternative
is white noise (e.g. the hum of one of those cheap air cleaners).

I have no idea what you could do to keep from getting jealous, however.
In elementary school, whenever a kid tried chewing gum or eating in class,
the teacher would ask, "Did you bring enough for everybody?"
I don't know if that would work in your case.	:-)
