I don’t consider myself an expert in these matters, but sleeping with tinnitus can be a pain in the ***.
Many tinnitus sufferers assume that the noise in their head is keeping them awake. That’s not quite true. In fact, it’s your brain’s response to the tinnitus that makes it harder to fall asleep.
You see, some people with tinnitus are generally unbothered by the ringing. They notice it now and then, but to them it’s a background noise, easily ignored and forgotten. But many fixate on their tinnitus symptoms. They worry about it. Concentrate on it intensely, especially when it’s most noticeable: as they are trying to sleep. That obsession triggers anxiety. The more they fixate on their tinnitus, the more anxious they become. The lack of sleep perpetuates feelings of fear about bedtime as sufferers learn to dread the hours of tossing and turning that lie ahead. It’s a vicious cycle, but it can be broken.
In my opinion, taking breaths is the best way to offset this. It’s quite simple, really! Sit comfortably with your back straight. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Breathe in through your nose. The hand on your stomach should rise. The hand on your chest should move very little. Exhale through your mouth, pushing out as much air as you can while contracting your abdominal muscles. The hand on your stomach should move in as you exhale, but your other hand should move very little. Continue to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try to inhale enough so that your lower abdomen rises and falls. Count slowly as you exhale.
