Falling asleep with something playing — a podcast, white noise, a bit of music — has become part of the nightly routine for millions of people.
And on the surface, it makes sense.
It helps quiet your thoughts. Drown out background noise. Distract your mind so you can drift off.
So if you use earphones at night, you’re on the right track.
But you might be doing something harmful — without realising it.
Because here’s the part nobody tells you:
Earphones were never designed for sleep.
They were built for workouts. For phone calls. For quick listening during the day.
Not for lying on your side for 7 hours.
Not for pressing into your ears while you sleep.
Not for gently guiding your brain into deep, restorative rest.
And while they may seem helpful, they could be quietly working against you — night after night.
If you’re waking up with sore ears, broken sleep, or a fog that never quite lifts…
this page will explain why.
We’ll walk through 5 common sleep myths that many people believe — and reveal what’s really going on when you fall asleep with earphones in your ears.
Myth 1: “Earphones can’t damage your hearing if the volume is low.”
We’re all familiar with the dangers of listening to things too loud, but there is also a danger for the time spent listening too.
Even at low volumes, listening through earphones for 7–8 hours a night can lead to:
• Inner ear fatigue
• Sensitivity loss
• Inflammation of the ear canal
• Increased wax buildup and blockage
Your ears weren’t meant to be sealed, stimulated, and vibrated all night long.
Myth 2: “Earphones are fine if you’re careful.”
Earphones seal off the ear canal, which stops airflow and traps heat and humidity. That’s why many people experience itchy ears, wax buildup, or irritation after using them for sleep.
Over time, this can lead to minor inflammation or even infections — especially if you sleep on the same side every night.
Myth 3: “As long as you fall asleep, it doesn’t matter how”
Falling asleep is only half the story. What you use to get there can affect how deeply you sleep — and how you feel in the morning.
Most earbuds keep playing until your phone battery dies — which might sound helpful, but it actually works against your brain’s natural rhythms.
During sleep, your brain needs periods of deep silence to fully recover. Constant audio — especially voices or music — keeps your brain in light “listening mode,” even when you’re unconscious.
Myth 4: “It doesn’t affect my posture”
When you sleep with earphones in, your body unconsciously avoids certain movements to stop them falling out or pressing too hard.
Over time, that can mean hours spent in the same position — with your neck, shoulder, or jaw locked into a tense angle.
Even soft earbuds or sleep headbands can train your body to stay still when it should be relaxing.
And that tension? You feel it in the morning.
“Sleep aids should never interfere with how your body naturally rests.
If you’re waking up sore, tangled, or groggy, your sleep tool may be working against you.”
– Dr. Marcus Whitehead, Sleep Health Specialist
Let's be clear: giving up your favorite podcasts, audiobooks, or calming soundscapes at bedtime isn't the solution.
The real problem is the painful, intrusive way we’ve been forced to listen to.
But what if you could experience immersive, private audio without anything pressing in or on your ears?
What if comfort and quality sound could finally coexist in your bed?
Instead of sending sound into the air which then become muffled by the pillow, it sends gentle micro-vibrations which essentially turn the pillow into a giant earphone.

“I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer”
I used to toss and turn for over an hour most nights, scrolling through my phone or fiddling with earphones. With the Sleepbar under my pillow, I’m usually out cold within 10–15 minutes. No sore ears, no lost earbuds, no partner complaining. It’s honestly changed my sleep routine.

“My husband can finally sleep through the night too”
I’ve always needed calming sounds to fall asleep, but headphones gave me headaches and would wake him up. This tiny speaker has been a lifesaver. It’s quiet, discreet, and the sound stays right where it should — under my pillow. We both sleep better now.

“Didn’t expect much… now I use it every night”
I honestly thought this would be another gadget I’d try once and forget. But I’ve used it every night for three weeks straight. It just works. You hear the audio perfectly, but it doesn’t disturb anyone. I use it with Spotify and a sleep timer, and I’m out like a light.

Sleepbar® is designed to work best with soft, compressible pillows — like hollow fibre or thin memory foam.
If using a denser pillows such as gel, latex, or thick memory foam, we recommend placing the sleepbar on top of your pillow, with a thinner hollow fiber pillow on top.
Sleepbar® is one of the most partner-friendly ways to listen at night — without the discomfort of in-ear headphones.
Our pillow conduction technology directs sound upward through your pillow and into your ear, with minimal room spill.
Our users tell us that at low to medium volumes, they can enjoy their audio without disturbing the person next to them.
Sleepbar® is designed for side sleeping — where your ear is closest to the pillow.
If you sleep on your back, you likely won’t hear much.
That’s by design: to keep your audio private, the sound is directed straight up — not around your head.
For back sleepers, our Drift Audio Sleep Mask or Headband may be a better fit.
We hear a lot of people asking this question - but are yet to find a single customer reporting that their device is even a little bit warm!
Sleepbar® doesn't contain any components that can "heat up" during use - and it consumes very little power during use. It's also manufactured to stringent European safety standards - so you know it will be high quality and free of faults.
By double tapping the power button you can activate a 30, 60 or 90 minute shutdown timer. This saves battery, and also means your device isnt left playing if you fall asleep.
You can also control the timer from the Dusker Audio App, where you have the freedom to set specific time options from 1 minute.. through to an entire night.
Bluetooth is everywhere these days. It's the same technology you'll find in your earphones, computer keyboard and your cars. Infact - there's a good reason for this.. its incredibly safe.
But based on all current research, using Bluetooth devices poses no meaningful health risks.
For your peace of mind, the shutdown timer and distance from the head (separated by a pillow), should bring you more comfort than wearing in ear earphones.
