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...

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.
I use Loop silicone earplugs, they’re reusable and washable. Used to use the disposables but got tired of the waste.
But now I'm the one using them. Haven't done as much work researching earplugs as some posters above, but like the Loops. For comparison, I have earplugs at work, that feel like someone was raping my ear every time I'm putting them on.
So, there's definitely earplugs and earplugs. If you need to use them, might be worth few hours and few bucks spent on testing/research.

Also a simple noise machine can work wonders.

AFAIK there is some inflammation potential if earplugs are used all night everyday. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/advice-wearing-ea...
You shouldn't be looking at just various kinds of earplugs as options for this. You can get custom made earplugs for your ears for differing use cases (sleep, concerts) at an ENT.

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…
Plants can help somewhat.
Sleep is my biggest concern right now.

Huge fan of my Anker Soundcore A20s w/ a mixture of noise colors over conventional ear plugs. Much more comfortable and don't create such a closed in effect. Easy to take in/out if I need to chat w/ a partner. Also a simple noise machine can work wonders.
You let it? It really wanted to, but you kept denying it until you finally gave in and let it?
“Respect your tools” and all that but remember it’s an “it.”

To the person who asked, I can sleep with these in on my side without a problem after I made sure to use the right tip size.
