Yeah I use the big ones that cover your whole ear. They aren't really uncomfortable because of the padding around the ear. I sleep to music too when I can't. Only problem I can think of is if you have to hear your alarm clock in the morning you may not if you have it too loud so I don't keep mine too loud when I do use them.
Mine are similar to these but not exactly like them.
edit: also the chord can get a little annoying if they have 1...it can tangle around your neck if you toss and turn..which is why I keep whatever I'm playing the music on...in front of or above my head and just throw the cords behind my head so when I do roll they're out of the way.
Asta!!
