I fall asleep to audiobooks too and had issues with uncomfortable earbuds – the best thing that’s worked for me is this thing called “cozy phones” where it’s sort of like a sweat-band, with padded speakers built in.
I got mine on amazon and they’ve worked great, I think these are the ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013P19QWI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CVYYzbZC2JBXJ

Oof. I just did this flight back in February when I went on a trip to Thailand from the Midwest. If you can knock out, then that’s the best. Unfortunately I am completely unable to sleep on planes so I just tough it out and mentally prepare to be awake for 30 hours. I have all my music downloaded from Spotify, a book or two, and healthy snacks. Usually I can find a few movies on the plane’s entertainment section and I’ll watch a few of those as well. I generally try to pick the longer ones, or have some long ones downloaded already.
I do wear comfy clothes, and I bring toothbrush/toothpaste/face wash and freshen up whenever I can. These headphones were also pretty great for when I did feel like making an attempt a getting some Zs. (I always have white noise/relaxing sounds downloaded to my phone and I’ll have that play on a loop.)
Springing for an exit row is 100% worth it on those long haul flights, especially as a super tall person. Not only can I stretch better when I’m sitting, but I get up every hour to stretch/do lunges/get SOME kind of movement, and I can do so easily without bothering anyone.

Oh. Yeah I’ve never been able to find any headphones that let me lay on my side on a pillow. I have to lay on my back with every kind. I’ve heard people mention Sleepphones or cheaper off brands like these but I’ve also heard users saying they’re uncomfortable in different ways.

Yes. I sleep with headphones on. Theyve made a huge difference.

The sleep study is definitely the long term answer. That said, my husband won’t do it, either. If you need something short term while he comes around to making the appointment, the only thing that works for me is a combination of these headphones and this white noise app. I combine the brown, pink and white noises so that it’s extra loud.
