I use my HD650 while in bed. I prefer full size headphones while indoor.

Phonak Audeo are very light weight, and comfortable + affordable (not the 232's that said)
 
I was very impressed with them, even though i HATE BA drivers.
UM3x, w3's are much more bulkier and "heavier" to wear than the PFE's

Just a question, will this hurt the IEM in any way, if you sleep with them in your ears?

Damage to cables is my main concern, considering I'm not a very still sleeper.

Wire is always fragile, even if you have something like the westones (one of the best stock cables out there)...after a while they will give in...

The only obviously safe and comfortable (but not cheap) solution would be Customs from someone like ACS who's full ear molds are both flush finishing to the ear and made of flexible silicone rather than hard plastic.

CC51, disappears completely while you sleep.

Any of the Shure SE series.  I can't even see mine if I'm looking in the mirror.

I can't agree...se535's were way too bulky to be sleep-able on.
Yes they tried to be flush to my ears...but still.

You actually might want to try out some different pillows.  I sleep on my side too, and I find that with certain pillows I can wear almost any IEM's comfortably.  I'm using those sort of curved memory foam pillows now, and you can sort of position your head so that your ears are in the recessed part so there isn't as much pressure.

I dunno if this is an appropriate response, but you might wanna sample these, not IEMs though

Well, everyone's ears are different of course.

ACS T15..been using mine in my sleep for months now, sounds great and really comfortable for sleeping on the side!

Just got back from a 2 week trip where I slept with my IE8's in almost every night.  had no trouble and found them fairly comfortable.

of course but the se535's have a big housing so in reality no matter our ear shapes it still might stick out/be uncomfortable. I could be wrong however.

Using the JVC HAFX67 while in bed seems like a good idea. It is cheap(around $18), very comfortable,  and will probable not stick out of your ears. It has recessed mids and too much bass and treble, however this can be corrected with equilization. When equilized decently, it can sound okay.  I suggest using a cheap mp3 player with that, such as the Sandisk Clip+ or Clip Zip. Whatever you use to sleep with will probably get plenty of stress on the cord, and the mp3 player will probably drop on the floor quite a number of times after a while. Save your expensive gear for when you are awake and can take proper care of it.
