Sleeping on board any boat in our size range is simply a noisy effort. My best advice is to get used to it. You might try ear plugs and a fan for "white noise".
When it's not the halyard slap, it's the wind humming in the rigging. Once you overcome those it's the waves slapping on the hull, the fridge compressor starting and stopping, the bilge pump or water pressure pump or vac-flush picking up. Then if you're at anchor the motion of the boat surging against the rode will make you wonder if you are dragging - and that thought will certainly keep you awake. Get all of those taken care of and then your partner snores or has to pee in the middle of the night. Good luck. When I moved into my new house 15 years ago, everything made a new and different sound. We had a fridge that made a funny sound, a sump pump in the basement, and a condensate pump on the hvac. Each would start and stop all through the night and for the first few days or weeks sleep was challenged. 15 years later I barely even realise that those noises exist.
