Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / June 2004Napping in Motion
Napping is a rather punishing exercise for T suferers. Lately, I have found a way that seems to have circumvented the punishment. Before I 'allow' myself to nap, I rest my neck on an electrical massager machine _in motion_. The sound and the motion from the machine during the brief moment of napping seem to have spared me of the annoying consequences that result from napping. After all, the sound from the massager machine in motion is a form of sound-masking! Try it. It might work for you. FP >Napping is a rather punishing exercise for T suferers.

Some people are finding that their T lessens after a short nap, and worsens after a long one. Others do not notice a change and still others say any nap aggravates the T. The information is going to be shared with a sleep expert to find out what is going on chemically during various types of naps to see if there are any connections.

Terri >> Terri This is very interesting. I'd read several places that naps were a nono and have avoided napping since last December. But yesterday I was just dragging and finally succumbed to a two hour nap. I noticed no difference in my tinnnitus. Can you keep us posted or refer us to the other tinnitus support forum? I'm also wondering what is considered a long nap or a short nap. Etc. > << We have an informal tinnitus/napping study going on at another > tinnitus support forum.

Thats a full nights sleep.:) - jean I suggest that this is not the best approach to managing T. If you must take a nap, so so with the TV turned on, otherwise your mind is "clear" and the T is more noticeable. this is why I don't recommend meditation for T either, butter off dancing. This is not to be confused with lowering your muscle tension so that you don't reinforce your T.

Some neurologists would caution people from having the TV on while sleeping because it provides stimulation both with the changing and recognizable sound and flashing of lights which prevents your brain from achieving therapeutic levels of sleep. In addition, the only thing that quiets my tinnitus when it is at a full roar is meditation. That is not to say that a dance with Murray might not do the trick as well, however.

Is the connection here with sleeping or could it be more associated with lying down? My tinnitus greatly increases after sleeping/napping - sure, but it also increases whenever I'm horizontal. Could this be something to do with increased blood pressure in the head? Steve > > We have an informal tinnitus/napping study going on at another > > tinnitus support forum.

Bill Great for massaging the neck and shoulder muscles too. >Napping is a rather punishing exercise for T suferers. Lately, I have >found a way that seems to have circumvented the punishment.
