One of the rare things my wife and I weren’t fully compatible on, she’s like you and needs full silence/darkness to sleep whereas I need something that pulls my mind away from the existential dread to fall asleep. I now use earbuds…
I use SleepPhones. Much nicer than earbuds because they’re flat in a headband. Earbuds either fall out overnight or leave me with soreness in the morning.
I’ll check them out! My buds definitely fall off during the night and I don’t usually have soreness (because they fall out) but sometimes I’ll wake up all tangled in the cables lol.
People that need sound to fall asleep scare me, so imagine me in the opposite corner.
Tinnitus is a pathway to many sleep requirements some consider to be unnatural

Definitely go for the Bluetooth ones. They’ve got a new wireless charging model as well but I haven’t tried that out yet.
Same here, my partner used earbuds and I earplugs. :D
