Is it bad to sleep with music in your ears?

If you really want to sleep with music, I would recommend something simple without lyrics and very peaceful. Plus, I wouldn't recommend using earbuds; they can damage your hearing in the long run, and I am speaking from experience. Play it quietly on the speaker in the background. With this in mind, you are ready to go; just don’t let the situation arise when you are unable to sleep without it.

It may not be really bad for you, but it has some downsides. I have some past experience with falling asleep while listening to music or watching films on YouTube. I always went to bed while watching something, and I thought for a very long time that it helped me to calm down and fall asleep faster. That was partially true, but over time, I came to understand that I couldn't sleep without it. When my headphones ran out, I had no choice but to listen to music on my phone and drift off. In short, my brain associated a sound playing on my phone with sleep, and I was addicted to it. This was awful in itself, but on top of that, my sleep was even worse, and I wasn't as rested as before because there were times when I would wake up in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason at all.
