Huh? Does anyone else find doing so completely impossible?
I start to feel kinda claustrophobic when i'm in headphones - not being able to hear the world around me leads to the "fire, burglars, plane crash, doomsday" kind of anxiety.
- superuser2 10y agoMost people's headphones aren't nearly that good, not should they be turned up that loud.
- zeta0134 10y agoI'm much more terrified of rolling around during my sleep, wrapping the headphones around my neck, and suffocating myself. I move around a lot during my sleep, mostly to roll to one side or the other and get comfortable again. I don't trust a dangling wire. I could probably do wireless earbuds, but I'm not made of money; a simple speaker would work fine. Then again, I don't find audio to be a big issue for me, but rather light. I installed blackout curtains in my room, and immediately found that I could more consistently stay asleep for 7.5 hours without any trouble. Distracting audio is a problem, but the low drone from my air conditioner is usually more than enough to help me zone out for the day.
- rzzzt 10y agoIt was less suffocation, and more pulling off the phone along with everything else in its path on the nightstand for me. :) I also found it uncomfortable how the pillow pushes on the earbuds at times. I usually put the phone to a very low volume instead, and place it either face down or propped up against something, to get more direct sound from the speaker at the bottom.
