“Comfortable in ear and secure no matter which way you are sleeping.”
- Rayna H.
Your bed is your safe place to relax, unwind, and get some much-needed sleep after a busy day. Or at least it should be.
For some of us, falling asleep – and staying asleep – doesn’t come easy.
Whether it’s your snoring partner, the dog next door barking all night long, or traffic on the busy street outside, noise can make it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Especially if you’re a light sleeper and wake up at every little noise.
From feeling unproductive the next day to experiencing anxiety and depression, a lack of sleep can have a serious impact on your mental and physical health. But you don’t need to suffer forever more. There is a simple, cost-effective solution that ensures you’ll get to sleep faster and wake up feeling recharged: earplugs for sleeping.
Benefits of using earplugs for sleeping
Want good health? You need good sleep. The National Sleep Foundation advises that healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. But if you’ve got noisy neighbors or cars honking outside, you might struggle to hit that target. And what if you work shifts and need to sleep during the day? The hustle and bustle could make it impossible, if you don’t use sleeping earplugs.
If you don’t get enough sleep, it can cause all kinds of issues. Ever found yourself finding it hard to focus at work, or ditching your lunchtime exercise class because you’re tired? How about feeling irritable, more emotional, or picking petty fights with your friends, family, partner and co-workers?
They’re all things that can happen when you don’t get enough sleep in the short-term. And if you’re constantly sleep deprived, it can cause long-term health issues too, including a higher risk of conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, stress depression.
The quality of your sleep is just as important as the quantity. Loud sounds can wake you up out of a deep sleep which has lasting effects, even if you wake up only for a few seconds.
Luckily, it’s not hard to improve your sleep. Earplugs can help to reduce noise levels and block out distractions, whether it’s your upstairs neighbors partying or your partner snoring, so you can get to sleep quicker – and not wake up during the night.
But be sure to look out for earplugs with a high Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). This is a measure that’s used to express the effectiveness of hearing protection, like earplugs and earmuffs. It’s measured in decibels (dB) and highlights how much noise reduction the device offers – the higher the NRR, the greater the noise reduction.
Noise can have a big impact on your sleep. Some people find it hard to drift off to sleep when there’s noise, whether it’s traffic on the street outside or their partner snoring beside them. Other people will wake up frequently during the night due to noise. And noise can disturb your sleep even if it doesn’t wake you up, meaning you spend more time in a lighter sleep and less time in deep or REM sleep – the kind you really need to wake up feeling refreshed and revitalized.
The WHO recommends that the average night-time noise level outside of bedrooms should be less than 40 dB(A) to prevent adverse health effects related to sleep disturbances and other health issues. So if you live in a noisy area, have nightmare neighbors, or simply like peace and quiet, you can use earplugs for sleeping to reduce the noise levels, help you to fall asleep faster, and wake up feeling more energized.

Why our earplugs are your best option
Traditional foam earplugs and ear defenders block out noise – which is great in some situations, but not if you want to stay engaged with the world around you.
Not everyone with autism has the same experience when it comes to noise, but many do have some level of sound sensitivity – in fact, it’s been found that 50–70% of autistic children and adults have decreased sound tolerance (DST) at some point in their lives. That means it can be difficult to filter out background noise, making everyday environments feel overwhelming and stressful.
That’s why it’s important to consider the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) when choosing autism earplugs. NRR is a measure that’s used to indicate how effective hearing protection devices (like earplugs and earmuffs) are in reducing noise exposure. It’s measured in decibels (dB), and tells wearers what the potential reduction in noise level is when wearing that particular device. The higher the NRR, the more noise reduction a pair of earplugs, headphones or ear muffs offer.
