I would think earwax build up would increase with that
My suspicion from regular use of ear plugs is that the wax sticks to the plug every night. I use a new set every night. Pretty wasteful, but man, I need my sleep.
Slightly off the main topic, but I can strongly second that recommendation for Coros gear!
No relation other than a very happy Coros user (Pace Pro). They make an excellent series of sport & health monitoring watches and bike gear, best GPS I've ever seen producing the most accurate run/bike tracks I've ever seen (using 5 GNSS systems: GPS, Galileo, QZSS, etc.), very reasonable pricing compared to the competition, continuous useful updates, and just a great overall approach to health and technology.
That CO2 concentration looks unhealthy, I wonder to what extent it's affecting your sleep quality (as opposed to waking you up). > Measure before you fix In my case, I got a few IKEA CO2 sensors, and after leaving them in the bedrooms for a few days, we found that leaving an outside window slightly open + the bedroom door open, kept the CO2 levels below 600PPM at night. We're 1000ft/300m away from a motorway, but for…
The levels I have at night indeed are unhealthy, I’m still trying to find the best way to tackle this challenge.. Most wakeups are from noise (I can see it in the data) but high CO2 levels can also make me a lighter sleeper. Not sure where you’re based but in Europe the priority is mostly on heat isolation, so air movement suffers. The US is better in that regard. There was a big thread on that topic on X the other w…
hint: your watch is probably lying to you and you're following a normal bifurcated sleep pattern. AI is melting your real world understanding: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/biphasic-sle...
Interesting. I may need to add some sensors. I spend time in two places. San Juan Islands WA and Santa Cruz, CA. On island, nights are too quiet. During the day, a float plane a mile away sounds like it is next door. In Santa Cruz, the house is on a major street. Busses, ambulances all sorts of yahoos. I sleep better quiet. But I sleep even better when settled - mind not going, etc. I generally don’t sleep well at al…
I find if I work out consistently I am always getting great sleep and getting really tired in the evening, but if I don't I might not ever feel tired then I look up and it's 3am. I never made the connection between heavy exercise and sleep before, but it seems obvious in hindsight. Got to do what we are built to do not what modern life insists we do.
Hey, OP, consider sleeping with ear plugs. They're scientifically proven to reduce night time awakenings due to audio disturbances. [1] [1] https://academic.oup.com/sleep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/s...

Anybody living in a mid to large city or urban area could have told you that. What a waste of resources.

I used to wear them every night and they definitely improved my sleep. But then I also had instances where my ear was blocked with wax for several days.
YMMV
