Adequate Rest
Both a healthy habit to adopt and a potential remedy for tinnitus, getting sufficient rest is something everyone should practice. Fatigue has been shown to make the condition’s symptoms worse, transforming what would otherwise be soft hums into loud and high-pitched feedback loops. If tinnitus prevents you from getting enough quality sleep, it may become a vicious cycle that may impact your physical health and mental wellness in the long term. Fortunately, some good sleeping practices and habits can lead to better rest.
For starters, a cool and dark environment can help make the environment a more relaxing place. If the room is a little too quiet, a white-noise machine, fan, radio, or TV may help drown out the sounds produced by tinnitus. Bedtime routines like a warm bath or book reading will also put you in a much better mood to rest, primarily when supported by comfortable pillows and a bed. Also, try to avoid eating, drinking alcohol, or exercising two to three hours before you go to sleep, as they may interfere with your ability to get rest.
