Sleep PicksEarplugs for sleeping: foam or silicone?
For a snoring partner or a noisy street, earplugs are the best value in this whole topic.
Foam blocks the most and costs pennies, but take practice to insert. Silicone or reusable plugs are more comfortable for some, especially side sleepers. Replace foam ones often, and make sure you'll still wake to your alarm.
Our pick
Earplugs
Foam (cheapest, most effective) or reusable silicone (most comfortable)
Why: For a snoring partner or a noisy street, nothing beats them for the money.
How to use it: Roll foam plugs thin, pull your ear up and back, hold them in place for 20 seconds while they expand.
The honest downside: Side sleepers can find them uncomfortable. You might not hear an alarm, so use a vibrating one or light.
