Waking up to crying or snoring, disrupting a sleep cycle in the middle of the night, can make anyone exhausted. We tried these ear plugs (taking turns listening for kiddos, of course) and we were pleasantly surprised....not to mention rested the next AM. Sleep Pretty In Pink (Zonk Out for men) ear plugs are the softest, most comfortable we've experienced. They reduce noise by 32 decibels so it's a comfortable reduction allowing some peace and quiet.  Bonus? They have a convenient carrying case for easy storage. Find them here: SleepInPink.com
