Is it harmful to sleep (fall asleep) in headphones
We decided to try for ourselves a new genre on GeekTimes - a post-question, moreover, the question is not idle: is it dangerous or not to fall asleep in headphones?
Ever since the “ presentation ”, the headphones for sleeping somehow raised questions and critical reviews on the subject of “sleeping in headphones is very harmful.”
What do people say about this?
')
The network, as always, is full of experts who live on the forums, replies, and mail.ru and other authoritative for many sites, who to a certain extent claim, however, without referring to anything, that sleeping in headphones is harmful.
It is important to note here that most of the conclusions are given through the introductory “I think” and its derivatives: “it seems”, “I believe” and so on. Our local analogue of Quora (where, by the way, was also asked a similar question), The Questions, where it was customary to look for answers to all questions, also did not bypass the topic and appear almost on the first line of the search engine:
And again, “I think, yes, certainly, it is harmful” and “it will definitely be a big minus”. Unpersuasive, but categorically.
In 2016, a note was published in Russian on the Moscow Medicine portal, where you can also read without reference to the research:
Harmful vs safe
The main problem with the answer to this question is probably related to the substitution of concepts: indeed, there is reason to believe that it is not safe to sleep in headphones for a number of reasons. Even in Western forums, in the "question-answer" mode, doctors make the same mistake, confuse the harm and potential danger associated with the fact that a person can listen to a fire alarm or a gas leak sensor.
It is what it is. You can strangle the wire, you can listen to the alarm, thieves, murderers. There were absolutely trash cases ( Caution ), however all of them are in the category “danger to life and health due to closed ears”.
What is meant by bad?
In this regard, the question has matured, and what is meant by "it is harmful to sleep in headphones." Probably, we should answer that this should be interpreted as an immediate damage to the organs of hearing caused by the headphones during sleep.
And here, too, some difficulties will arise, because the harm from headphones is a seemingly obvious thing. But nowhere is there conclusive evidence that, falling asleep with headphones, this harm is done “better”.
Yes, listening to music in headphones can negatively affect the organs of hearing, which is proven and obvious. However, not only the noise in the headphones, but the noise in general is a destructive thing . Hearing will deteriorate faster or slower, according to research, it will inevitably happen anyway. But in this sense, it turns out that headphones, such bastards, are equally dangerous not only at night, but also during the day.
Music for sleep
The influence of music on the body seems to be proven. Moreover, it can heal and kill .
It is difficult to talk about music therapy, of course. However, there are some indirect indications that sleeping music does exist. It is necessary to understand this in such a way that some frequencies tune a person to a certain way, contribute to relaxation, relaxation, which facilitates the process of falling asleep.
At the already mentioned forum in a concise form, doctors also tend to this. And in more detailed studies one can come to the conclusion that music helps in this way: by reducing pain in fibromyalgia, which provoke insomnia, it helps the patient to fall asleep. Or as a prophylaxis of the same insomnia - with post-traumatic stress disorder.
At the same time, it is worth noting that no specific indication of how to listen to music, with headphones or not, is not necessary. The influence of relaxing classical music has a positive effect on the sleep of students, and again - with headphones or not?
The author's material lists some problems that may arise when using headphones. Among the dangers of suffocation already mentioned, an obstructed reaction to an alarm, skin necrosis is noted, for example, however, with reference to a women's magazine. In this case we are talking about the type of headphones "gag". It is noteworthy that, as an alternative and safe way to listen, the same author brings just headbands, SleepPhones as well.
In other words
As a result, summing up, in fact, to the question, it is necessary to note that:
In connection with this question, how do you think?

Listening to music before bed can be detrimental to the quality of sleep.
None of the studies have yet analyzed the effect of this habit of falling asleep in headphones, but recent studies have shown that using headphones during sleep can disrupt sleep through changing cycles and thus lowering the quality of sleep.

In other words
As a result, summing up, in fact, to the question, it is necessary to note that:
- Headphones during sleep can be dangerous, but harm to health, for the hearing aid is unproven.
- Harm to hearing from the use of headphones at night and during the day is equivalent.
- Music can be recommended as a non-pharmacological remedy to facilitate sleep immersion.
- It is possible to listen to it, probably, both in headphones, and without them - the advantage of headphones is that it will not disturb others.
