Is it safe to wear earplugs while sleeping?

With sleep deprivation becoming increasingly common, thanks to long hours of screen exposure, unhealthy lifestyle, and other factors, people employ all kinds of tricks and tips to get a few hours of restful slumber.

One such technique is using earplugs, to block out all the noise and sleep without any disturbance.

Sleeping earplugs are small devices that are designed to be worn inside the ear to reduce or eliminate noise while sleeping.

With sleep deprivation becoming increasingly common, they are an effective medium to reduce noise-induced sleep disturbances, and can be helpful for people who have trouble sleeping due to external noise factors.

Dr Bishnoi explained that noise-induced sleep disturbances can result in physical and psychological health consequences, including increased levels of stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Thus, sleeping earplugs may come in handy to block them out.

However, sleeping earplugs can result in impacted wax, risk of infection (if not sterilised properly after each use), displacement of ear plugs, dependence on ear plugs for sleep, and ear pain.
