Whether it’s traffic outside your window or a snoring partner beside you, it can often be a struggle to get a good night’s sleep. A pair of the best earplugs for sleeping can help to reduce the sound of these distractions and improve the quality of your shut-eye.
These little buds come in several varieties: foam, silicone, wax and even sleep headphones. Choosing the right one can be tricky, according to Dr Siobhán Brennan, lead clinical scientist in audiology at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. “To maximise quality of sleep, comfort will be important,” she said. “There may be an element of trial and error to find a material that is most comfortable for the wearer. The comfort will depend on both how it feels to sleep on and also how the material feels against your skin.”
