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.

I always set mine for as short as I think will work. I also only use one ear bud and change which ear I use it in. I sleep on my side and only one ear bud is needed.
Even during the day, I frequently can use only one ear bud if the ambient noise level isn't too loud. I also keep the volume as low as possible. Hearing is so important, I would hate to lose it. (Don't get me started on a rant about LOUD music! LOL)
