“…In fact, a recent study reported a high prevalence of parasomnia, sleep terrors, in tinnitus patients. 80 It is of note here, that an important risk factor for parasomnias is sleep fragmentation, 81 which can be caused by stress—a typical comorbidity of tinnitus—or possibly by the tinnitus itself (see section ‘Sleep architecture in tinnitus’ below). Yet, it remains to be investigated whether tinnitus can predispose for sleep terrors, somnambulism (sleep walking) or confused arousal.…”

Sensory disconnection from the environment is a hallmark of sleep and is crucial for sleep maintenance. It remains unclear, however, whether internally generated percepts – phantom percepts – may overcome such disconnection and, in turn, how sleep and its effect on sensory processing and brain plasticity may affect the function of the specific neural networks underlying such phenomena. A major hurdle in addressing this relationship is the methodological difficulty to study sensory phantoms, due to their subjective nature and lack of control over the parameters or neural activity underlying that percept. Here we explore the most prevalent phantom percept, subjective tinnitus – or tinnitus for short – as a model to investigate this. Tinnitus is the permanent perception of a sound with no identifiable corresponding acoustic source. This review offers a novel perspective on the functional interaction between brain activity across the sleep-wake cycle and tinnitus. We discuss characteristic features of brain activity during tinnitus in the awake and the sleeping brain, and explore its effect on sleep functions and homeostasis. We ask whether local changes in cortical activity in tinnitus may overcome sensory disconnection and prevent the occurrence of global restorative sleep and, in turn, how accumulating sleep pressure may temporarily alleviate the persistence of a phantom sound. Beyond an acute interaction between sleep and neural activity, we discuss how the effects of sleep on brain plasticity may contribute to aberrant neural circuit activity and promote tinnitus consolidation. Tinnitus represents a unique window into understanding the role of sleep in sensory processing and clarification of this relationship may offer novel insights into therapeutic interventions in tinnitus management.

“…Additionally, several studies have tried to evaluate the co-prevalence of tinnitus with known sleep disorders, such as bruxism [ 32 , 33 ], sleep apnea [ 34 , 35 ], periodic limb movements during sleep [ 36 ], snoring [ 28 ] and night terrors [ 37 ]. These studies highlighted the strong co-prevalence between tinnitus, bruxism and sleep apnea.…”

(1) Background: Poor sleep and fragmented sleep are associated with several chronic conditions. Tinnitus is an auditory symptom that often negatively combines with poor sleep and has been associated with sleep impairment and sleep apnea. The relationship between tinnitus psychoacoustic characteristics and sleep is still poorly explored, notably for a particular subgroup of patients, for whom the perceived loudness of their tinnitus is highly modulated by sleep. (2) Methods: For this observational prospective study, 30 subjects with tinnitus were recruited, including 15 “sleep intermittent tinnitus” subjects, who had reported significant modulations of tinnitus loudness related to night sleep and naps, and a control group of 15 subjects displaying constant non-sleep-modulated tinnitus. The control group had matching age, gender, self-reported hearing loss grade and tinnitus impact on quality of life with the study group. All patients underwent a polysomnography (PSG) assessment for one complete night and then were asked to fill in a case report form, as well as a report of tinnitus loudness before and after the PSG. (3) Results: “Sleep Intermittent tinnitus” subjects had less Stage 3 sleep (p < 0.01), less Rapid-Eye Movement (REM) Sleep (p < 0.05) and more Stage 2 sleep (p < 0.05) in proportion and duration than subjects from the control group. In addition, in the “sleep Intermittent tinnitus” sample, a correlation was found between REM sleep duration and tinnitus overnight modulation (p < 0.05), as well as tinnitus impact on quality of life (p < 0.05). These correlations were not present in the control group. (4) Conclusions: This study suggests that among the tinnitus population, patients displaying sleep-modulated tinnitus have deteriorated sleep quality. Furthermore, REM sleep characteristics may play a role in overnight tinnitus modulation. Potential pathophysiological explanations accounting for this observation are hypothesized and discussed.

We evaluated the relationship between sleep factors and tinnitus risk using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007–2012), focusing on adults aged 20 to 80 years. Our analysis included 4354 participants, with sleep patterns categorized as healthy, intermediate, or poor. We observed that both short (odds ratio [OR]: 1.43) and long (OR: 1.48) sleep durations increased the risk of tinnitus compared with the healthy range (7–9 hours). Additionally, sleep disturbances were significantly correlated with tinnitus (OR: 1.52), with the strongest association occurring in individuals with poor sleep patterns (OR: 1.71). The results of the weighted logistic regression analysis underscored these findings.
