Most of the time I fall asleep ok. I usually watch a little bit of TV, but set the timer for a couple of hours so that if I’m asleep it doesn’t wake me up. If I happen to wake up and the noise in my ears bothers me, usually then I take an Ativan.
I have been trying to meditate focusing on the T sound and controlled breathing. 15 minute sessions each day. I find the more I try to concentrate on the T sound, the more my mind wanders. Which I have read is a good thing in the habituation process.
