For some people, earbuds are a part of the bedtime routine to get what they call ‘quality’ sleep. They put them on to listen to their favourite music, settle into a favourite podcast or drown out the sound of a snoring partner.

For others, the earbuds have become a way of creating a quiet space at the end of a long day, with soothing sounds helping them relax into sleep.

But is it safe to sleep with earbuds in your ears every night?
