With two cats and a husband that snore like it’s their professional duty to keep me up, plus a million and one car horns and sirens going off at all hours of the night, falling asleep has been increasingly more difficult the older I get. Since using the Loop Dream Earplugs (one of NBC Select’s 2026 Wellness Award winners), I’ve not only drowned out most of the noise, but I’ve found that I fall asleep quicker and am able to stay asleep despite distractions happening around me.
I own both the Loop Quiet 2 earplugs and the Dream earplugs, and I find sleeping in the Dream option far more comfortable at night, especially as a side sleeper. The foam silicone tips fit more naturally inside my ear, so I don’t wake up with pain from wearing ill-fitting earbuds all night, and they don’t fall out, no matter how much tossing and turning I do.
In addition to baffling the world around me, I’ve found that Loop earplugs are a must-have when I’m flying. Cry baby? No problem. Noisy seatmate? Can’t hear them. Rumbling jet engine? Basically silenced. These earplugs have truly made it possible for me to sleep in (almost) total peace on long-haul flights.
