I get extreme headaches if I sleep > 9.5 hours. They're brutally bad. Sweet spot for me is > 6 but < 8.5 hours per night w/ earplugs and a sleep mask on. Quality > Quantity, at least for me.

I average 7 hours of sleep per night and do quite well on it. Used to do 5-6 hours/night and it eventually caught up to me in my 30s, but improving quality via ear plugs + mask + mattress went a lot further than an extra hour of sleep.

Any recommendations on which ear plugs and sleep mask to get? I've moved to an incredibly noisy area and I'm finding my ability to phase this out isn't as good as it used to be.
