Stereo Speakers - How far apart?

I don't know if you've tried, but you can use SleepPhones. I sleep about 85% on my side, 10% on my stomach and 5% on my back, and listen to the trickling stream track every night. It wasn't too easy at first (hurt my ears a bit + the audio itself), but I got used to it in a month or two. And now I'm practically immune to night-time noise with those on, which is a plus. A minus would be that if I have someone over I'll have to hide them a bit, or tell its a sleeping aid or something.

Yup - I tried them - but you are likely right... need to get comfortable - I gave up too quickly.
Do you know if SleepPhones have the correct frequency range?
Last time I tried them (year or so ago) the speakers seemed pretty bad.

@sebastian - what is that 45% number based on? With subs it is not as simple has dividing by about two - if I hear "I am self-confident" - my subconscious can take that in whatever ear it comes through, or whether mono or stereo! So genuinely curious what the downside of mono is... a 55% drop in efficacy seems too much.

My bluetooth speaker can additionally be plugged in (i.e. no need to transmit audio via bluetooth), so I don't think there should be a lossy issue.

The number is just based on Shannons statement about this topic. So he is the only one who knows why it's 45%.

Distance from ears is good from 3 to 30 feet, as long as you have the volume set properly and it's not bothering you.

Not to be pedantic, but what if I place the speakers even closer than that, at 10-20 cm from my ears?
