I used to have noisy neighbors who would party until very late at night with loud music. In addition, my apartment only had one room towards a big road.
Often, I couldn't sleep until 2 or 3 AM when parties ended and would be waking up around 6 or 7. Ear plugs didn't help since the sounds were too loud.
This lead to me constantly being tired and overall made everything else in my life more difficult. I lived like this for years.
Then, one day I saw an ear protection gear (the type that construction workers normally use) in a store for only $5. I decided to buy it, thinking that it might help me relax but that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep with them.
Well, it turned out that I was able to sleep with it and I started to consistently get 6 or 7 hours of sleep. Best purchase of my life.
TLDR Lived in a very noise environment and couldn't sleep. Bought an ear protection gear for $5 dollars and slept like an angel.
Do you have a photo? I'm picturing fat ear muffs and can't imagine you sleeping with those on.
Yup. They aren't that big but definitely uncomfortable for your neck. But the slight neck pain is totally worth it.

Haha how do you even use a pillow!? Insane trying to fall asleep with those on.
Some people sleep on their backs, in which case I could see these working. That said, these are worse for hearing protection than ear plugs.
