Relaxing Sleep Sounds Help Insomniacs

By Linda Ruiz


Everyone has times in their lives when they have trouble falling asleep. However, for some people this becomes a chronic problem that has a negative effect on every area of their lives. Fortunately, sound therapy offers one way of dealing with this problem. A proliferation of online recordings of sounds affords you the opportunity of falling asleep while listening to relaxing sleep sounds. The only problem is to find the recordings that work best for you personally.

Sleeping is as important to humans for their physical and mental health as eating and drinking. Deprivation causes a range of problems from impairing the ability to think clearly to compromising the immune system and affecting emotional stability. Relationships, health and work productivity all suffer as a result of insomnia.

One of the main reasons why people battle to fall asleep is because they are experiencing stress. Their bodies and minds remain stimulated by this stress and they simply cannot relax. There are certain reasons for not falling asleep that can be fixed such as drinking less coffee or not eating too late at night but stress is more difficult to deal with.

Today developments in technology have provided various ways of helping to deal with this problem. One of these is to play recordings of the noises found in nature. Listening to the music of nature and the natural world is one of the ways people suffering from insomnia can relax enough to fall asleep. Artistic soundscapes are created without using musical instruments but simply by the way in which the material is recorded, edited, mixed and arranged. The objective of these recordings is to create the most realistic nature experience possible.

Each person has an individual response to different noises. For one person a certain sound, like crickets chirping, may be soothing and relaxing while for another it may be irritating and annoying. This is why choosing a recording is a very personal experience. It is possible to listen to samples of recordings on some sites and this can be very helpful.

White noise consists of many frequencies of an equal intensity that are combined. The idea of having more noise in your bedroom may sound strange, but it works because it blends the external sounds into the overall background noise. This makes the brain pay less attention. It is helpful for people who find that they focus on every little sound when lying in bed.

Many people, however, prefer to listen to the noises of nature to the calming drone of white noise. Listening to waves breaking or a combination of distant rain and thunder creates a sense of peace and connection with nature. This slows down their heart rate, drops their blood pressure and stress is released. Before they know it, they are drifting off into dreamland.

Many of these recordings are available from online stores. They can be purchased at reasonable prices in a number of different formats. Some of them are MP3s and can be instantly downloaded once payment has been made. They can be listened to on various devices. Others are purchased in CD format and shipped to customers. Many people who experience insomnia are finding that sound therapy really helps.
