Oh, it's fine, I can empathise with worrying about giving advice, but it is much appreciated <3
I am usually walking around with noise-cancelling, over-ear earphones most of my waking time, ever since I realised I am autistic and not just a mess of a human being (only dived deep into the topic very recently, have gone undiagnosed up until now and am now on a waiting list for an official diagnosis in my 30s, but my current psychiatrist already agrees with my assessment, they are just not allowed to diagnose me.) Those earphones have been a lifesaver!
Unfortunately, sleeping with them doesn't really work for me, as I am sleeping on my side, and even with small in-ear headphones, I found it just not working out the way I toss and turn from one side to the other. But I am sure your advice could be helpful to others, so don't hold back :)
Reread your comment and this may not be for you due to the tossing and turning, but in case it helps someone else: Have you tried changing pillows?
Specifically, I'm thinking of buckwheat hull pillows. I sometimes make a depression to fit the headphones, even the big over-the-ear style. It's the only way I can sleep in them.
