Oh, the ever-elusive good night's sleep. Why is it harder to come by than it should be? Whether it be the loud next-door neighbours, background city noise, or your partner snoring inches away from you, there are noises — loud, obnoxious ones and irritating, tiny ones — that could be a major roadblock on your journey to eight hours of rest. Sometimes we just wish we could just go "Shhhhh!!!" and that would solve all our problems. Alas, that's what earplugs are for. If you're a restless sleeper or have trouble falling asleep, listen up. Earplugs are equipped to help you fall and stay asleep. Choose from earplugs that help reduce noise to a minimal volume, or cancel surrounding sounds altogether. We searched through customer reviews and ratings, product descriptions, and more to find the best earplugs on the market, and here they are.
