I had this problem for 3 nights: After an hour or two, the left sleepbud stopped making sound, and reported "Disconnected" in the app. I had to put the buds back in the case, take them back out to get them to reconnect, then go back to sleep, only to have the same problem happen again... and if I fell back asleep with the left bud disconnected, eventually the right bud would disconnect too. In all cases, I had my phone 1 foot from my head all night. No other bluetooth, wifi, microwave, or other 2.4 GHz range devices were nearby to cause interference. I'm on version 1.5.6. The phone is a Pixel 2 XL. Why do these need to maintain a constant bluetooth connection in order to function? As I understand, the sounds and alarms are stored locally in the sleep buds, so why don't they continue to play sounds, even if they lose connection to the phone?

I'm on Android (latest version).

Lisa, thank you for sharing that clever fix! The picture you included is worth 1000+ words. I'm going to find some of those jump rings and give it a try. Have you noticed any extra pressure in your ear canal using those rings, or any soreness after using them for a while?

I've had this happen three times. The first time, after about 4 hours of sleeping with the Cascade sound, I woke up to the sound of loud static in my left ear. It was quite startling, and it sounded much louder than the safe 70 dBA max volume level that the Sleepbuds are supposed to be limited to. I opened the Bose Sleep app, clicked Pause, then clicked Play, and the problem went away. It definitely seemed to be a bug since the sound was suddenly different in the left bud, and the volume of the static seemed too high. The second and third times, it happened in the same left Sleepbud, after about 7 hours of operation. Those times, the static noise did not persist - both times it just made 2 quick loud static noises, then the Cascade sound resumed.

I have this problem too. Sometimes when I move to my side, the sleepbud's sound begins to fade in and out with each of my breaths, as the slight movement compresses the oval-shaped sound canal in the StayHear+ Sleep tip. I end up needing to push in a dimple in my pillow where my ear will rest, to create a place I can lay my head without creating as much pressure on the sleep bud. I've been thinking about making a DIY modification to the sleep tips to strengthen that little canal. Please let me know if you find a good solution!

I ended up doing this: I removed the StayHear+ Sleep tips, and used 220 grit sandpaper to lightly sand off the shiny coating on the outer shell that faces the pillow, being careful not to scratch the antenna area. Although this solved the problem, I don't recommend doing this unless you're willing to void your warranty. I hope Bose will address this problem!

I'm glad to hear you don't have this issue. You brought up some good points. Perhaps this is more of an issue for people with shallower ear canals. When I sleep on my side, I feel some pressure in my ear from the sleepbud, even when the bud is fully in my ear. That's with a very soft pillow that I "dig" a little canal in just for my ear, to reduce that pressure. May I ask what material your pillowcase is made from? Mine is 100% polyester, branded as "microfiber".

Thanks! That person's second idea (fine-grit sandpaper) is something I considered, but haven't tried yet. It's disappointing to read that it didn't fully eliminate the sound for him. So far, the best option I've found is placing a towel over my pillow.

Hello fellow light sleepers! I noticed that when sleeping on my side, I hear a loud rubbing sound of a Sleepbud rubbing on my pillowcase every time I breathe in and out. It's like the plastic shell of the sleep bud grips the pillowcase material just enough to catch on it a little and make that sound. It prevents me from sleeping, unless I take a cloth like a towel and lay it over the pillow. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm curious if anyone has found a good pillowcase material that doesn't do this. Thanks!
