Highlights

● Complains of sleepless and tinnitus are common in sleep clinics, which is a different type of sleep disorder. In this article, we first summarize this disorder, which is defined as thyroid disease-related sleep disorder (TSD), and propose to categorize it as insomnia secondary to a somatic disorder.

● We have attempted to provide some preliminary diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for TSD.

● In the treatment of TSD, we suggest relying on the theory of integrating Chinese and Western medicine, emphasizing holistic diagnosis and treatment, and precise medication.
