Tinnitus and sleep disturbance
About the sleep cycle, effects of poor sleep and tips to help you have a restful night.
A disturbance to sleep patterns affects most of us at some stage of our lives. It affects all ages, including children, but is particularly prevalent amongst older adults.
Some people with tinnitus may find they have greater difficulty getting off to sleep. The shift from a relatively noisy daytime environment to the quietness of the bedroom can make the tinnitus noises more noticeable.
Tinnitus, sleep and waking
Many people with tinnitus do in fact sleep well and see sleep as a refreshing escape from tinnitus. Those people who sleep well do not seem to have ‘different tinnitus’ from those who have trouble sleeping.
The worries that you have about the length of sleep, or the effects of not sleeping, or about tinnitus generally, will probably have more of an impact on the quality of your sleep than the sound of tinnitus.
It seems most likely that you are woken up by other things, rather than tinnitus. Generally, people don’t remember their natural awakenings. But if you wake up enough to notice your tinnitus, you may be kept awake for

Around 15% of the world’s population suffers from tinnitus, a condition which causes someone to hear a sound (such as ringing or buzzing) without any external source. It’s often associated with hearing loss.
Not only can the condition be annoying for sufferers, it can also have a serious effect on mental health, often causing stress or depression. This is especially the case for patients suffering from tinnitus over months or years.
There’s currently no cure for tinnitus. So finding a way to better manage or treat it could help many millions of people worldwide.
And one area of research that may help us better understand tinnitus is sleep. There are many reasons for this. First, tinnitus is a phantom percept. This is when our brain activity makes us see, hear or smell things that aren’t there. Most people only experience phantom perceptions when they’re asleep. But for people with tinnitus, they hear phantom sounds while they’re awake.
The second reason is because tinnitus alters brain activity, with certain areas of the brain (such as those involved in hearing) potentially being more active than they should be. This may also explain how phantom percepts happen. When we
