On top of that, if anybody knows of similar for folks who sleep on their side I would like suggestions//insight.

  I’m a side sleeper and have slept with ear plugs in for nearly the past decade (hard for me to sleep without them now). I currently use Mack’s ear plugs, but I imagine they are pretty much all the same. Just look for some foam ones. The first couple of times it feels strange, but you get used to it quickly.

  My preference: Honeywell Howard Leight Bilsom 303, of which I use the smaller size. Can be purchased in bulk.

My quality of sleep shot through the roof when I started sleeping with earplugs many years ago. Much deeper sleep. Now, I can't fall asleep without them. I have an unproven theory in my head that shutting off my hearing while I sleep, quiets my subconscious and even when I'm asleep, my ears are still working so this helps another part of my brain rest as well.

  Another happy ear plugger chiming in. I have them in every backpack and suitcase now because it makes falling asleep anywhere a fairly consistent experience -- along with an eye mask to be complete. These are the best ones I've found so far: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6AI2HF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6AI2HF/ref=ppx_yo_dt...

    +1. Can vouch for these and have in every backpack as well :)

    Any recommendations for a good sleeping mask? Mine tends to fall off and doesn’t block 100%

      Yes! These seem to last at least a few months each when left under a pillow (rather than stuffed into a backpack or something which degrades them faster). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP28RWB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP28RWB/ref=ppx_yo_dt...
