Everyones fit inside the ear is different but I would be confident in saying these would be extremely uncomfortable to sleep in. Its hard and they dig into certain spots in my ear and they are not very comfortable past the 1 hour mark.

I had the same issue and these sit nice and low in my ear and I’ve had no issues sleeping with them. One thing to note is I like to sleep with only the left bud in. These can’t do that because the left is a slave to the right bud. So the right bud has to be out of the case and on in order for the left to connect

All ears are different. These things created a great deal of pain for me. Sleeping, standing, walking, everywhere.

If you're a side sleeper then I think you will find these about the same. To me they're as comfortable and stay seated in my ears just as well as my AirPods Pro.

Btw, when I fall asleep with either these or my AirPods Pro, they'll fall out and into my bed at some point through the night. The fit is probably different for me, but hopefully that serves as a reference point for you.

Less pressure than normal ear buds but you can feel then while sleeping if you lay directly on them.

Although they don't have a stem like the Air Pods, they do stick out past my ear. I think they would push into your ear and be uncomfortable honestly. I can't test them because I returned them.

Hi Luke, Thank you so much for your interest in Sony's WF-L900!

These LinkBuds combine a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit. We’ve designed LinkBuds utilizing extensive ear shape data collated since introducing the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982. The WF-L900 LinkBuds are designed to be comfortable enough to wear all the time but sleeping in them is not recommended.

Additional information:
LinkBuds connect all your worlds perfectly with an open ring design that allows you to hear calls, music and other online content anytime, as well as the ambient sounds around you transparently, feeling nothing on your ear. Small and light with super-fit styling for hours of comfortable wearing, they ensure you’re always connected to your life, so you’ll never miss a thing.

Hope this helps, and thanks again for considering Sony!

Not great, they take up more space in your ear than conventional earbuds and hurt when laying on your side. They also don't stay in my ears well at all.

They’re uncomfortable as is and can easily shift in your ear, especially when against a pillow. I wouldn’t use for sleeping personally, but like you said, this is subjective.
