I did ponder that but I'm not sure how comfortable I'd find them after 12 hours and most of the in-ear noise cancelling ones have the boxes for battery which makes them a bit awkward to use for anything on the go.

I wear over-ear headphones with glasses for flying and the seal and comfort are fine (although they are quite warm). No problems sleeping either.
Mine are Sony wh1000xm3s - I preferred them to the equivalent Bose.
I used to use in-ears but they’re not that comfy over a long period and put pressure on your ear if you sleep on them. I’d probably switch to soft earplugs if it’s a planned sleep anyway. -
I guess everyone’s experiences and ears are different. I have on-ears and they start to hurt after about 2hrs even without glasses. I like to lean against the wall of the plane whilst sleeping so over ears are a no go. I have not yet had any discomfort from in-ears after 6 or more 12hr flights.

For use when flying I'd say get in-ear. On or over don't play nice with sleeping and headrests. I have Bose QC 20 and even when I'm not watching a film, I just leave them in.
