Jeff YarchinBest ear plugs for sleeping?
The 3 other beings that share my room at night snore loud enough to wake the dead. I have been using 3M Plus ear plugs and they worked well.
I ran out and reordered them. To my surprise they were 1/3 shorter for the exact same item.
Any suggestions other than moving to another room?

jeffxjetBY far the best I've ever tried. I've used several being around jets on the ramp all the time. Comfortable for long periods of time and quiet. I use them at work and to sleep, they have improved my sleeping by at least double.

flashguyI hope you find something that works for you. Me? I could sleep through a bomb explosion outside.

comet24I don't use earplugs to sleep often but always carry foam one with me when I travel.

casI need to look into alternatives.
Once or twice a year I will work a large multi day shooting match, I end up sharing a room with a buddy. And he's quite the snorer. So I end up wearing foam ear plugs all night. But this is after having worn them all day long. After the second day or so, wearing them 16+ hours a day/night, my ear canals start to get raw. It's rather painful.
I have a couple sets of molded ear plugs, but honestly they don't work as well as the foam ones, so I don't use them. (Wonder if I could sleep in them? The pressure on the side of my head might be painful)
I know they make wax ear plugs, but I've never tried them.

Give 'em the pillow!
Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.

I used to wear the foam ones in the jet for long periods of time and they rubbed my ears raw, and gave me a terrible jaw ache because they push out on the ear canal badly. The howard leight's I linked to in the second post are much gentler on the ear canal, they expand but they don't push. If you have not tried them, I highly recommend giving them try. I can wear them for hours and not even realize they are in.

l33571I have the same issues of a snoring wife. The ear plugs linked to work quite well but over a period of several days eventually made my ears very sore since I sleep on my side and toss and turn a lot. The pressure against the pillow is what I believe is the cause.
I use the same plugs on the range (under electronic protection) and can wear them for hours on end without the same issues. I hope they work better for you. I have to take a break from them to let my ears heal up so they aren't so sore. I just move to another bed for a few days. She gets mad and I get to sleep. Oh well.

Try cutting the ends off about 1/4".
I actually sleep every night with earbuds on. I have the volume super low. Been doing that for years now.
