Default Sound Barrier for Dummies?

An alternative to curtains is a rug.

Hi All,

I live in an apartment and my bedroom wall is shared by my neighbor.
He rightfully plays his music, video games, watches his television.
Unfortunately, all of this audio is right on the other side of my wall
and the wall is so thin I can make out every sound. Now, I have done
some research and know that I can hang up vinyl and then do some dry-
walling, but you are dealing with a 29 year old chick who lives solo
and had a hard enough time installing a new doorknob. So, I really
can't take this on the way Bob Villa would easily do. Does anyone out
there have any suggestions of easy solutions that I can handle on my
own? Or maybe someone knows of some pretty amazing ear plugs?

Thanks for any help! Oh, and just a little note, we're not talking
about a crazy volume here, but bad enough that it interrupts sleep.
Again, thanks for any help you can offer!
