Are these sturdy enough that you could wear them while lying on your side (e.g. for sleeping)?

They are a really tight and sturdy. I wouldn't have thought that sleeping with these would be comfortable, but after trying it I could see how it could work. They squeeze your head quite a bit, so you might have marks when you wake up.Sideways isn't going to be comfortable for a large headphone like this unless you have deep soft down-like pillows. If you sleep on your back or let your head tilt slightly you could cut out sound while listening to music. For sleeping on your side you are probably better off with ear plugs (no music) or ear bud headphones (no external sound filtering). They are a really tight and sturdy.

I agree with the other two comments, they are probably sturdy enough but unless you sleep on your back I think it would be uncomfortable.

They are sturdy as any hearing protection ear muffs. However, they do fit tightly (as they should to work properly). I start to want to take them off after four hours, so it is hard to imagine sleeping with them on.

No and I'm not sure you could. They are rather light so be careful when leaning in them.

Yes. However, the sound protectors are bulky enough that they might be uncomfortable during sleep. They would certainly inhibit sleeping on one's side. I suspect ear plugs or ear buds might work better because they will likely be more comfortable.

They're not really built for being set on their side. They're semi-firm. The open side, if laid on the side will bow a little at the top.

I would think not, they were snug on my head and I wear a small hat size. Also, if he sleeps on his side at all, avoid these because the speakers are large and WILL hurt! I got a new pair of Acoustic Sheep Sleepphones and those are really nice. Small speakers and very comfortable, also, they come in different sizes.

Yes, You can wear them to bed. I forget that I have them on most of the time.

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on.I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.However, for sleeping you could get the foam ones that are disposible from a drug store. These would drown out about the same volume.

Don't usually wear them there...but they are very light...don't see any reason why you couldn't "rest" them on your neck occasionally

I think they would a little. I haven't ever slept with them on. I hear really well with them on during the day though. They do there job by keeping my ears warm. They are easy and comfortable to wear.

No, unless you are immobile or upright while sleeping. I have worn them while walking around, though, but Inhave to be cautious not to bend over "unsupported." :) There is an opening on the top, so anything in their might fall out. It holds about an ounce, so if you are a heavy leaker, you might want to check once in awhile to make sure you won't have waterfalls �

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

Not to my knowledge, they seemed sturdy for the outdoors or air soft, but are fare from Military issue, great price though..!

Yes, they are pretty substantial. Not quite as pillow-y as in the photo but still plush.

Not I - they're very, very good for use as pillows but lack the stronger support you would need as a back support. I've seen, at Pottery Barn, I believe, some very nice, up-scale 'study-buddies' that I think would work better for your needs.

Speak with your doctor. I didn't wear them. Assuming you are lying down and your legs are even or raised above your heart you should not need to wear them to sleep in.

I don't think that would be comfortable or too stable. it could be possible if you are lying on your side

I'm sure they will be comfortable, but these are one the loose side anyway. So being active with these might not work well for you. I will say even when bending over they have a tendency to fall off. But I have no doubt you will find them comfortable.
