K DUer's I have a bad problem here..

[HEyHEY]

I've had it. I tried to sleep and I can't "I can't sleep nights"

Seriously though.

When I try to sleeep I get a buzz or hum in my ear.
Ideas?

1. My guess is that it's...

... due to extended periods of time in front of the computer. Mine is a couple of feet from my head, so I end up with the same thing after eighteen or twenty hours on the computer. Usually goes away after a while.

Try turning on the radio low, to give your ears something else to focus on, and read yourself to sleep.

Works for me.

2. I have a light portable fan going close to my bed

its quiet drone drowns out a lot of outside noises - not sure about the inner ones, but you could try it.

3. turn the cell phone OFF and take the batteries out of the vibrator...

...that usually works for me.

4. Make yerself a cup of cocoa, take a couple

of aspirins, drink the cocoa and it will relax you and you'll sleep like a baby.

5. White noise machine

We got one of these battery operated "noise" machines, plays 6 or 7 different noises like rain, seashore, birds, etc. Works good for the wife when she can't sleep.
Maybe try melatonin for sleep, that sometimes works too.
Good luck.

7. I second the noise machine...

...or a bathroom fan works pretty well too for that.

And what someone else said about blood pressure is true, too. Got checked out lately?

6. you might want to check your blood pressure

before I got medication my ears rang a lot. Do you notice it in quiet moments?

8. Try this

take a vitamin B12 its calming or a supplement called Gaba.
It works.
