Can I use these at home for the purpose of not breathing very deeply because of stress and general anxiety? Not for snoring.

Yes you can...they work very well for a lot of situations...anytime you have trouble getting air though your nose

I used to have panic attacks because of restricted breathing (allergies making my nasal passages constricted) and don't anymore when I use these in the evenings. Most definitely worth a try!

It has nothing to do with stress and anxiety. I simply allows better flow of air and this way you do not over try to breath harder.

I have no experience with that but I will bet that this is exactly what these things are for. I use them to sleep better and i know people use the for gun firing ranges so thats your answer right there!

Maybe, if you are someone who can sleep lying on his/her back all night long, or has a special donut-shaped pillow which leaves room for the earmuffs. If the sound you are trying to deaden is rumbly, be aware that some of that low frequency sound is still going to get through.

Yes...my wife snores pretty bad and this is exactly why I bought them. They work well. What I like most about them is that I can still hear the alarm clock or a smoke detector or even a loud voice and such but everything is muffled to the point that it is not disturbing.

I use them exclusively at home. Since they completely seal off your ears, they reduce extrernal noise, but not as well as noise cancelling headphones.

Let's face it: if you're in the same room with a snorer, you're out of luck. This is a wonderful little machine, and its purpose is to provide a nice steady ambient noise. It's great for helping you stay asleep through occasional sounds like cars going down the street or the furnace kicking on and off. But if you're partnered with someone who snores loudly, you're still gonna hear that. Best I can tell you is try the machine out, and if it doesn't drown out the sawmill next to you, take it to another room and shut the door behind you!

Yes, they do block out normal amounts of snoring. If the snoring is really loud and wall shaking, they don't. They will dampen the sound though.

No, not for using like that. They would compress too much to be useful for that I think. They work ok as bed rails but they're not so firm as the actually elevate the mattress significantly.

These are not noise-cancelling headphones; they are open-back. As such, they're ideal for use at home.

I surely wouldn't want to sleep with them on my head all night! As previously stated, they're rather bulky and would make sleeping difficult unless you're flat on your back or sitting in a chair! Also, they don't reduce noise levels enough to make a difference. Sleeping with a feather pillow over your ears would block out more noise!

We happen to live in a noisy apartment. While these ear muffs are comfy, I don't think sleeping in them would be ideal. We ended up needing to purchase a Holmes air filter and coincidently noticed it created a nice amount of white noise that reduced our overall apartment noise. I think that might be an idea you could try. We purchased our filter at Walmart, but I don't think the particular model is being made anymore. As a bonus your overall allergens in the air should be reduced ! I hope this helps :)

These would be excellent for listening at home. The problem is they are closed back phones so they will get hot. The good news is they block external sound. They are comfortable and sound really good but you will eventually want them off your head. You may want to search for earphones that are advertised as the most comfortable - rather than these which are advertised as good quality.

Just my opinion, but I think not. As I said in my review, I found them too uncomfortable to wear for a few minutes, but even if they fit you better than they fit me, I don't see how anyone could possibly sleep with these on. Try some simple earplugs like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001YXOEE/ref=nosim/103-1990038-9555833?n=228013

For me yes. I live in an apartment building and it helps drown out the sound from the people living above us. I've also found it helps me with anxiety. I put it on and I'm more easily able to do some meditation/mental imagery work that helps me fall asleep.

They wouldn't. They would reduce the volume, so perhaps if you can sleep with quiet snoring? Just get a pair of cheap ear plugs which snuff out everything if you want to cancel out snoring.

If you're a horse and sleep standing up probably. Otherwise I think you'd find them a bit bulky to sleep in. The outside profile of each earcup is flat so you might be able to. Might have to go without a pillow that night.

Not 100% sure but I would be willing to bet they would block out all but the worst snorers. They are comfortable so you could sleep with them so give them a try.
