Use white noise and crackling vinyl to get to sleep, "T" goes mad when I wake up and its pot luck whether it settles down or not. Have 3 or 4 really bad days a week. Extreme high pitched scream in head

I listen to a audio book on low so I concentrate on that instead of the screeching noise in my head. It seems to help distract me long enough to be able to fall asleep.

It's pretty rough trying to sleep when your brain is rattling.

I try to sleep without extra sound, and concentrate on natural, external sounds like clock ticking or/and have the window open. Nice listening to the rain. I really miss silence.

Hi Pat I have to have meds to sleep otherwise I would go crazy. I alternate -zopiclone and Amitriptyline. Sometimes I sleep well about 7 hours sleep and other times - like last night about 4 hours. Lack of sleep does affect my well being the next day and I feel quite depressed the next day as I have really loud tinnitus.
