Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2005Why is napping so bad for tinnitus?
I sometimes enjoy a few days of silence and then all of a sudden I nap and the t comes back for a few days to bother me. What is the 'scientific' reason behind napping being so bad for tinnitus? Tks., FP > I sometimes enjoy a few days of silence and then all of a sudden I nap > and the t comes back for a few days to bother me. My T has been loud a lot of the time recently, however, if and when it is quiet-ish then sleeping will immediately make it worse :( > What is the 'scientific' reason behind napping being so bad for > tinnitus? Is there ANYTHING scientific about tinnitus? No-one has a cure, or much in the way of real help either.

Now _that_ was a completely unscientific explanation. Though here's a good site for beginners like me to learn more http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/ehceduc.html ie. "Neuroscience for kids". Steve O What position is your body in when you nap? Not the same as when you sleep in your bed.

When I'm on my back? When I'm on my belly? When I'm on my left side? Right side? Good grief. Hello Elly :) No matter how I lie, or sit, if I go to sleep then the tinnitus will start again as soon as I wake up. It will go away prior to me sleeping if I lie on my left side.

I am not sure whether you are replying to this thread or not. But if one is napping in a sitting position that is not as relaxed as if one is lying in bed. Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ Good point! I do find that the t sound becomes less intrusive after a good night sleep as opposed to napping. Hah! Mine is just as bad after a good night's sleep as after a nap :( I sleep exceptionally well too, so I have to be thankful for that, I suppose. Ben > Good point!
