This is exactly what I’ve been looking for over the last several years although I didn’t expect it to work so well! I am an ex-Bose sleepbuds user and I was devastated when they stopped making them and mine stopped working. The Bose buds literally changed my life – I have Asperger‘s, which causes noise sensitivity, light sensitivity, and touch sensitivity – trying to get any sleep is such a battle. The Bose buds allowed me to sleep with ease, so it was a real problem when mine stopped functioning. I have been searching for the past couple of years for a suitable replacement. earplugs worked a bit, but inevitably they get uncomfortable in the middle of the night and it ends up disrupting my sleep constantly fiddling with them. I decided to jump in the deep end and try these, though I was very skeptical that I would be able to sleep comfortably with a mask on my head all night. Literally from the first night, I could sleep pretty much all the night through, getting plenty of deep sleep and REM sleep with very little motion or activity. I connected this to my white noise app, choosing a pretty hefty thunderstorm theme, and was especially surprised that I could hear the occasional medium ambient room noise (dog in the room), but the white noise blended all noise quickly and was not disruptive at all throughout the night. I really like knowing that I can still hear my morning alarm and my security alarm, even though I have little speakers right next to my ears. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to be awakened by my alarm instead of the first inklings of light. Very easy to use and intuitive, and set up was painless. While the sleep mask is capable of rubbing against long eyelashes when you open your eyes, you would probably be surprised that it’s not a problem, especially because the purpose is to keep your eyes closed! The sleep mask is comfortable, and I was shocked that it is true how quickly you don’t notice it on your face. I thought the positioning might be a problem since I have to wear it with the strap pretty low on my neck and potentially causing a headache, but there were absolutely no problems and the mask didn’t move all night. I strongly recommend taking the time to accurately size it and position it for comfort while laying down in a bed. The first night I had sized it sitting in a chair and then had to adjust it a few times when I got in bed to fix it – not a relaxing way to start the night and you’ll need it to be a little bit bigger when you lie down. Although it launched my first night with some initial anxiety, it really speaks to the effectiveness that I laid down, went to sleep quickly, which was such a surprise, and slept comfortably throughout the night without waking up! Charging is easy and the cords are well tucked in and not a problem while in use. I’ve had the sound and battery in use for well over nine hours without a problem. It was still going so it probably has an even longer lifespan for the battery. Buttons are simple and intuitive – easy to use in the middle of the night, if necessary. Love it so much I’m ordering one for my husband! If you struggle to get to sleep and stay asleep, I highly recommend this, especially if you are aBose sleepbuds user. Delighted to have such an effective alternative!
