If you use your headphones during the day, then try not to set your headphones to play continuously while you're asleep. You'll be risking hearing loss to play sound you're not even hearing yourself.

The solution is of course simple. If you know that you'll fall asleep within the hour, then use a one hour playlist, or a one hour sleep function (available on many MP3 players).
