I tested the Fitnexa SomniPods 3 sleep earbuds for a full week because I’m super sensitive to noise at night—like traffic outside or someone watching TV in the other room can genuinely keep me up. In this video, I share what it was like using them nightly as a side sleeper, and why “sleep earbuds” are actually different from regular earbuds in a way that matters. I also show my sleep data from before and after, because my biggest goal was to stop waking up so much (especially when my boyfriend gets up early for work and starts making coffee). After I started using the SomniPods 3, my sleep score and wake-up windows improved a lot—I was waking up less often and for shorter periods. The two biggest takeaways for me were comfort and consistency: they’re ultra slim, sit flat in my ears, and didn’t get stuck on my pillow, so I woke up with them still in. I also liked how simple the app is (built-in white noise/wind-down sounds, auto-off timer, bedtime reminder, and alarms), because at night I don’t want a complicated setup. I’m not saying they’re a total fix for every sleep issue, but if you’re a light sleeper and you sleep on your side, these felt like a smarter, more realistic solution than regular earbuds or basic earplugs.
