I get my best sleep in a recliner with the TV on with the volume low. The sound occupies my auditory processing so I do not hear the other sounds and it helps me not get caught or stuck "thinking." I focus on quality of sleep, not hours of sleep. 6 hours of quality sleep is far better than 10 hours of restless sleep.

Hey Mark,
I hear you, I never get a decent nights sleep, I pray for sleep!! between the shaking, fear, etc it's awful. Actually, I'm like Mark II, I often fall asleep in my recliner with the TV on, hope you get help for the tinnitus and pain in your head, I never got the tinnitus but know a lot of people here do. ![]() |

I have an ambient sounds (or white noise) app on my iPhone that I use to help me fall asleep (I prefer the "tropical rain" sound). I set the timer on it for an hour and usually am able to fall asleep before the timer runs out.
Without some ambient noise I focus too much on the tinnitus in my head.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months. March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again. Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work. Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens. |
