Normally this is used for those with ear issues, or after ear surgery. But hey, it also happens to be perfect for sleeping with headphones!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pillow itself is fairly simple. As you can see, there’s a massive hole in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it’s so specialist, it’s very customisable. You can add or remove the material in it to change it’s firmness, or even replace the inside altogether. You can also change the padding around the hole to widen\/tighten it to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a simple but ingenious solution to our problem. That said, it’s not without it’s issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world. It works – don’t get me wrong. But it’s not the same level of comfort as placing your whole head on a comfy pillow. It’s something you need to get used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other downside is if you move in the night. In the dark it can be hard to line up your headphone piece with the hole (and that’s if your conscious). You may just find yourself half away, fighting this weird reverse donut thing and wishing for a good pillow instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the actual ‘sleeping with headphone’ part, though, it’s pretty unbeatable. It works super well and you can drift off without an ounce of pressure being put on your headset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: This doesn’t really work with larger headsets or those with rigid headbands. Super large earpieces don’t quite fit into the hole. Rigid headbands still push off the edges of the hole, putting pressure onto your head.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Working with Travel Pillows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You know travel pillows, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out they’re a pretty quick replacement for our PWAH friend above!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By turning one so that the thick bottom part is at your chin, and the opening is at your head, you’ve suddenly got your own DIY PWAH! Complete with a space for the headband to sit at the top. Perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, this is not a pillow made to last a whole night’s sleep. But it can be a fantastic temporary solution.<\/span> Use it to listen to music or a sleep cast and take the headphones off before you sleep. Simple. You could use it throughout the whole night if you were able to stick to one sleeping position, but it’s not exactly The Ritz of bedtime sleeping setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStill, it’s a great little ‘hack’. For anyone interesting in the Pillow Without A Hole, maybe give this one a shot first. See how you find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sleep is one of the most important parts about being healthy and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having it disturbed from outside noises, a snoring partner, or even just a wandering mind can make the rest of our life a lot more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being able to block out noise and listen to your favorite relaxing music or sleepcasts can change everything. I hope this quick guide has helped give you a few ideas on how to use headphones to massively improve your sleep quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
