Sleeping

[TuneOut]

I can't even sleep with 3 sleeping tablets. I have tried different ones.
The loudness is to overwhelming

Bummer. Which ones? I pop an ambien here and there. It knocks me out like a light.

Does it really matter?

Thanks to google, it doesnt.

@MJv Have you ever considered cannabis or cannabis related products? If you can get a CBD oil/balm/spray this can help you sleep. They are very low in THC which is the psychoactive component, so you don't get "high" and there is no associated anxiety/paranoia. CBD products are like a super potent version of chamomile or valerian root. Not sure where you're located but this is potentially an avenue worth looking into.

Regular cannabis that is smoked or vaped can help make you drowsy and sleep soundly, but you have to be in the right state of mind, otherwise you'll probably feel anxious and paranoid about your tinnitus.

Weed makes my tinnitus shoot way up. Every damn time. I can't use it for this reason. CBD sounds interesting, though.

Does anyone have any success with anything that specifically helps with staying asleep?

I fall asleep just fine, but lately have been waking up again like every half an hour. All together, I'm back at sleeping 3 hours a night and becoming extremely exhausted and desperate.

I take Xanax when needed, melatonin, valerian, St. John's, etc. I've read good things about Mirtazapine, Amitriptyline. Do they have longer half life than Xanax?

Also, it may sound stupid, so bear with me please: is there any correlation between weight and dosage? I'm overweight, so do I possibly need a bigger dose of Xanax than a slimmer person to have some effect?
