Is it dangerous to sleep with earphones in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: If the earphones have long cords it could wrap around one's neck. Most new headphones are very light and if you turn in your sleep are likely to be pulled out. I doubt there is significant danger to simply wearing them, however, if you have the music at high volume levels this could permanently effect your hearing.
