At night, it becomes very silent at the mountain which means that you hear all sorts of sounds much better. Moreover, you’re also not used to various sounds as they are probably different from the sounds you hear at home.
This can disturb your sleep, especially if you are a light sleeper.
Noise can be caused by travellers who keep you awake by snoring if they go to bed early or by sharing stories if they stay up late at night. Especially if you share dorms on the Marangu trail, earplugs come in handy to deal with all the snoring.
Not only people but also the wind can make strange and loud sounds between the tents.
Keep also in mind that porters and guides get up earlier than you do to prepare your breakfast among others.
To make sure you get as much sleep as possible during the night, it is recommended that you bring earplugs when climbing Kilimanjaro.
