Sleep Ear Buds

Five stars. (★★★★★)

Sleep headphones are a thing. When I found out, I had to try them. I’ve started sleeping with public radio streaming all night at low volume; it helps short-circuit the thought spirals that turn my middle-of-the-night awakenings into long stretches of insomnia. At home I stream from a smart speaker; when traveling I use Pixel Buds for the added benefit of masking weird hotel noises. The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 ear buds have two big advantages over Pixel Buds: They’re small, soft and flexible for side-sleeping – and the battery lasts all night. I haven’t tried the white noise and soothing sound effects yet; I need a verbal narrative to combat my weird midnight thoughts.
