Hey girl, it will not always be like this. Hang in there ok. This too shall pass. Are you taking anything to help you sleep?? Big hug.

I'm sorry to hear that @Striveon Have you tried Valerian Root, Melatonin or Mirtazapine?

Maybe have a sleep study done? I forget to wear my sleep appliance and got away from CPAP and am very tired. Bad sleep = bad tinnitus usually. I know I have some degree of sleep apnea.

Thank you all for your tips and kind words. I decided to take a piece of Ativan tonight! I needed something and that’s alright, I shouldn’t feel bad for needing help.

@just1morething sleep study? Have you had a sleep study done? What is CPAP?

Definitely, bad sleep = bad T

@Striveon, Yes I had probably 3-4 over the years. I believe I have moderate sleep apnea and and teeth grinding/clenching. CPAP is a low pressure air pump that you wear over you mouth/nose to eliminate sleep apnea. I have a appliance that I prefer with bands on it to pull your lower jaw ahead to keep your airway open.

Wow, that sounds very interesting.. do you sleep in a lab and they watch you, or how does it work?

Yeah, they monitor with a camera mainly for abnormalities like sleep apnea (stop breathing) Can be bad for your heart and other internal organs. If you have health insurance they normally cover it, costs 2-3 thousand I would guess.
