I don’t sleep with IEMs. I simply take them out and fall asleep. It would bug me to think I could break them while sleeping. Though I read there is a whole group of folks into IEMs which get into a narrow profile for sleeping with head sideways......lol, I could never do that?
I know your not an IEM guy. And I was a full size headphone enthusiast up until about 10 years ago. I would view IEMs (at meets) as inferior and not even try them. Then maybe due to using them outside, I slowly started to migrate over. It’s not comparable to full-size as the soundstage is just different and more inside your head, where full-size are a soundstage outside your head. And IEMs are probably technically not as proficient as full-size, but it’s an elusive rabbit-hole. A slow moving thing on a yearly pace as somehow your able to mentally adapt over. I’m pretty much an IEM listener but I have to have full-size headphones as insurance to make sure I’m not wrong....kinda for reference. But even with your predisposition and IEM history.........I could see you getting the IER-Z1R and have a personal migration over? You have the ancillary gear.......lol. Worse case outcome you sell em? Most of this hobby is mental you know, we hear what we allow ourselves to perceive and the equipment does the other half, what ever it’s ability. It’s like white-wine or red-wine. Domestic autos or imports. Blonds or brunettes, Tubes or solid-state........CD or vinyl. Gotta love the contrasts!
Depending on fit......M9 or IER-Z1R. This last week has been an eye opener for me. Just changing tips and cables. But fit! Fit is the whole issue with IEMs. There is fit with full size, but fit with IEMs somehow 100% affects the sound? It’s so weird to get a different sound from an IEM you have used for years? It’s like you think you know your gear, but you don’t know what you don’t know.
@Whitigir I habe fallen asleep with the IER-Z1R on my ears , no problem, no discomfort. But as @Redcarmoose says , I always try to remove them when going to Bett. The Times ive fallen asleep with them is because i wanted to lie in bed relaxing

For bed relaxing/sleeping I use either my JH13 customs or qJays V2 as both are so small that I can lay on my side with no discomfort. My Earin M2 wireless also work for this
