I work rotating shifts, and am currently having difficulties sleeping during the day. I wake very easily, even if I use OTC sleep aids. I have darkened my windows to the point the light doesn't bother me, but normal daytime noises are waking me.

I had the same question in my mind, facing similar sleeping conditions. I wake easily to light, and sound. I thought that by using earplugs I would perhaps not here my fire alarm, and risk dying from fire, or a silent attacker. Since then I have used earplugs hundreds of times to sleep, I find I can easily hear my clock alarm, smoke alarm, and most other things you would need to react to. The things it does get rid of are people talking, garbage trucks and delivery trucks, and lots of useless ambient sound. It is a little weird to get used to at first, but once you are comfortable with wearing them, you fears will subside.

Sleeping With Earplugs

I don't see any danger to sleeping with earplugs, as long as you get a soft, comfortable kind intended for sleeping. My only concern is that you test to make sure that you could hear a smoke alarm, if that goes off.

I was having alot of anxiety before sleeping and could not fall asleep. Had many many sleepless nights.
I was just playing with the program one afternoon and wanted to listen to the �Power Nap� track. Next thing I knew I was waking up! Fell right asleep without trying. After using the �Fall Asleep� track, I could fall asleep right away. But I didn't realize that I shouldn't be using that one all night. Switched to Whole Night and have been using it ever since.
I can go to sleep with ease now. I just lay and listen to the sounds and next thing I know I am waking up from a nice sleep. I don't suffer from lack of sleep anymore. I keep an IPod with earbuds next to my bed and take it ALWAYS when traveling. The earbuds help block out ambient noise and the sleep tracks keep me sleeping sound :)
