Reply to comment by toasthaste in i cannot sleep on my back for a whole night by ___

ok i did always wonder how people slept with earbuds in, this is a good idea actually. maybe i could repurpose my airplane pillow?

though, i already have issues just sleeping with regular earplugs, it fucking hurts so bad when i wake up, or if i wake up in the middle of the night i can't go back to sleep because it hurts. maybe i'm just weird and sensitive, but it's made sleeping in hostels or with a loud roommate absolute hell lol

I've had similar issues with earplugs, including waking up in the middle of the night because they were so painful-- I've definitely found some that were a lot less painful than others (maybe smaller? fancier? unsure) and if you make sure to put them in correctly (lift your ear upwards? i think the plugs usually have instructions) I think it can help. there's also silicone earplugs, which aren't nearly as good at blocking out sound but are different enough that they might not have the pain problem
