How to sleep with headphones on?
Now, people sleep in various positions and they can be broadly categorized into back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and side sleepers.
If you are a back sleeper, then you can wear any kind of wireless headphones or earbuds and sleep. The only thing that you have to watch out for is that the headphones or earbuds that you wear should be comfortable to wear while sleeping.
However, things get kind of complicated and problematic in the case of side sleepers. If you prefer to sleep on either side (whether right or left), you might find it really uncomfortable to sleep with your headphones or earbuds on.
Apart from the discomfort, you always run the risk of either breaking or damaging your headphones or earbuds. Not just this, wearing headphones while sleeping may make you exert too much pressure on side of your head or ear and this could result in pains and aches when you wake up in the morning.
If this is the case with you and you find it uncomfortable and painful to sleep with your headphones on then it is time to invest in a headphone pillow.
What is a headphone pill and how can it help you sleep with your headphones on?

The main purpose of this pillow is to reduce pressure on your ear and this could be really helpful for people that already suffer from hearing issues or other ear problems.
