I’m seriously crap at sleeping. Always have been, probably always will be. I’ve suffered with bouts of insomnia during difficult periods of mental health. And even during periods when I’m finding sleep easy, I’ve long had to use earplugs to block out external noise and prevent me from being woken up by the slightest of sounds.
The thing is, I also like drifting off to podcasts, which is tricky with earplugs. Taking earplugs everywhere is a pain in the butt, too, and the only ones able to block out serious noise are the foam disposables, which are wasteful. “What about using normal wireless earbuds,” you ask? Anyone that’s ever tried to sleep in those can tell you how uncomfortable and impractical it is.
