I think that is the term sorry if it isn't. Brain fart. Anyway how long do I need to play sound/music on them as well ?

Wear them. Listen to them at normal volume.

That is what I am doing but my question is can i lower the sound and keep the headphones on the stand with them playing music to break them in while I sleep ?

"Break in" or more commonly know as "burn in", is a kind of controversial topic here. Judging by @canthearyou comment, he does not believe in burn in. My personal views are a bit mixed, I personally think it is dependent on the earphone, some experience them, some (most in my experience) don't, it isn't a "you must do it" sort of thing to me. To be honest, whether it exists or not, I see absolutely no harm in doing burn in. Doesn't hurt anyone so why not right? Just don't go around arguing with people over your beliefs. For what is a "correct" burn in, just play something something at normal listening volume. If you max out the volume you might bust your driver, depending on how strong your amp is.

Some builders recommend burn in some do not. The only pair that it made a difference for me was Mr. Speakers Ether-C's. 150 hours of bass heavy music at moderate to loud levels. The change in sound was not small I think it is how the drivers are made that effected it. Like @Dulalala said what is the harm. I would do it at fairly loud levels but not at max volume of a amp though.

I believe more in break-in. Pads adjusting to your head. And your ears adjusting to the sound. IMO
