Can you (personally) sleep with headphones on?

[pineappleshortcare]

I live in a downstairs apt with a poorly insulated and squeaky floor above. Two neighbors of mine in a row have worked early morning shifts, getting up between 3 and 4 and waking me up too. Other than that, I like my apt and it's one of the few in my area that are decent and affordable.

Do you think noise cancelling headphones would be useful? If so, it's worth saving up for a quality pair to me, but I was wondering if it would be hard to sleep with them on.

What do you think?

I have a very loud full metal floor fans. Once that gets turned on I can't hear anything short of crashes scene7.samsclub.com/.../0004601345431_A runs about 50-60 bucks. Earphones hurt after awhile for me but that fan works great!

Oh yeah, those Lasko fans are nice! Think it'd drown out a squealing floor over head?

[pervertedjester]

I hear nothing but floor crashes at three feet away from my fan.

[pineappleshortcare]

Nice! Maybe I'll try this... You can never go wrong with an awesome fan.

[Default_Hore]

I can, but if you have them on and somebody were to come in your house/appartment you'd have no idea, would be terrifying, but yeah I can sleep comfortably with em on. (:

[pineappleshortcare]

I think I'd be in trouble anyway... But I didn't think of the fire alarm. My building actually started on fire once, so that's legit.

[Default_Hore]

Yeah but sometimes it helps to be able to hear, even if you'd be in trouble you'd be more likely to live. Your choice though if you aren't getting sleep because of them.

[pineappleshortcare]

I know, right? Sometimes I worry about driving to work I'm so tired.

[rgb008]

Yes. I fall asleep easily with headphones on. I wake up to the alert from pandora all like "are you still there?" haha

[pineappleshortcare]

I hate that!!

[pineappleshortcare]

Do you have over the ear ones or earbuds? I don't really like buds. I can fall asleep with cheapo thin ones on, but noise cancelling are bigger. So I'm torn.

[rgb008]

Yeah Beats Earbuds.
I don't know earbuds are cheaper so thats why haha. And when I run, earbuds are just better for me.

[fauchelevent]

Yeah, I can. I usually put my headphones in if my boyfriend snores.

[pineappleshortcare]

Oh yeah, it can be hard to sleep with that too.

[WhereAmI]

Use a white noise generator instead. The headphones will be uncomfortable to sleep upon. Right now I leave the AC on with the fan constantly running.

[pineappleshortcare]

I have a fan and a little sound machine playing a waterfall noise going right now. 😐

[rainbowdash_262]

It's kind of dangerous, don't you think? I mean it is made out of wires.

[pineappleshortcare]

Well, honestly I do not know. 😊

[Hashirama]

Yup i do it a lot
But when i wake up nothing's playing guess u pause it in my sleep

[pineappleshortcare]

Haha. Do you sleep on your back, side, stomach or other?

[Hashirama]

Stomach mostly
Side sometimes
Back rarely

[crimsonqueen]

Not for long. If I fall asleep with them in I always take them out after a bit.

[TheButterfly]

I have before, not the most comfortable thing though

[teawrecks]

Your ears may get sore, but it's worth a shot.

[pineappleshortcare]

Good ones are like $350 ... I wish I could think of some way to do a test run or find out how plausible this idea is. Any thoughts?

[Prettyapathetic]

I get paranoid nooo

[pineappleshortcare]

Paranoid with headphones on? How come?

[Prettyapathetic]

My mom is always calling me or someone or maybe I can't hear too well. Im always taking one headbud out so I can hear if she is. My mom is over the top. Seriously I feel so paranoid it's like I have ocd

[pineappleshortcare]

Oh yeah, I see. I am an old single lady and the nice part is living alone. 😊

[Prettyapathetic]

What if someone is knocking on your door?

[pineappleshortcare]

If they are knocking on my door between 11-6, I am not going to answer! Haha,

[Prettyapathetic]

You can get brain cancer !

[YaBaba]

Nope, I can't.
