Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?
I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.
As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.
More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it’s light-hearted and doesn’t require too much thought.
When I read the title of the post, I immediately wondered if anybody else with tinnitus had commented yet.
“Silence” sounds amazing, would love to try it some time 😅
Put your hands over your ears and drum your fingers on the back of your head for 20-30 seconds.
It doesn’t last for long but (if it works for you), blissful silence.
Me too. I don’t even remember what silence doesn’t sound like. XD
