I got this because my fiance snores and it wakes me up at night. He's so loud that regular silicone earplugs just weren't enough. So I got the Hibermate to wear in addition to my earplugs and it's like a match made in heaven. I'm finally able to sleep through the night undisturbed. In addition, I am a side sleeper on my right side, so what I did was I removed the right side earmuff (they are detachable) and lay my right ear on the pillow. Thankfully I don't roll around much, so I used this method and it worked well for me. The eye mask is very comfortable as well and high quality.
