Ear-plugs for when I sleep. I used to wake up at the slightest noise, which made me extra groggy the next day. Now I can sleep soundly.

Also unbelievablely great for air travel*. You will be a lot less exhausted after your journey just by wearing earplugs.

Do make sure you're at your gate before inserting. Trust me.

*Air travel really was a thing before the spring of 2020. I swear it was.

Which ones?

Have used industrial ear plugs for years. Great for traveling.

The ones that are shaped like a butt plug. Not the ones shaped like a bullet. Those get stuck in your ear hole. :)

31 to 33 decibel NRR, not the 20 NRR ones. Human speech is ~55 decibels.
