Relaxing Sleep Sounds Help Insomniacs

By Linda Ruiz


Just about everyone experiences sleeplessness at some point in their lives. However, for those with chronic insomnia, this problem can become extremely debilitating. They will do just about anything to find help. Sound therapy is one of the ways used to deal with it. Listening to relaxing sleep sounds such as rain falling or waves breaking has been proven to aid relaxation and help people fall asleep.

Sleeping is just as important to you as drinking and eating. Your body needs it to function properly and when deprived of it on a consistent basis many health problems can result. The mind does not function properly, the immune system is compromised and emotions become unstable. This in turn affects your health, work and relationships.

There are many reasons why people are unable to fall asleep. Stress about work, family, finances and health is often one of the main reasons. Other reasons include certain medical conditions and use of some medications. Too many stimulants and eating too late at night are obvious factors that can be easily remedied. Some people find that they wake up tired even when they have slept for long enough. This probably means that they are not sleeping deeply enough as this is when the restorative functions occur.

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.

People all respond positively or negatively to different sounds. One person may be really disturbed by the sound of dogs barking whereas another may not. Crickets chirping may be intensely annoying to one person and give another person a pleasantly nostalgic feeling. This is why there are so many different recordings available and it is possible to listen to samples on the sites.

White noise helps some people to drown out other noise which may prevent them from falling asleep like traffic noises or dogs barking. It contains a wide range of frequencies that mask other intrusive noises. It is helpful for people who have tinnitus or ringing in the ears. If you are someone who tends to react to every tiny noise when trying to fall asleep, white noise will probably help.

However, many people find that the noises produced by nature, like ocean waves, offer more relaxation than white noise. As they listen to the cadences of nature, their heart rate and blood pressure drops and their stress levels are lowered. Before they realize it, their whole bodies have relaxed to the point where they fall asleep.

There are numerous sound recordings available online and some of them are even free to download. However, these recordings vary in quality. In order to purchase one that is really effective for you, you need to choose carefully. Once you have listened to samples and read customer reviews, you will have a better idea of what you want. You may be able to instantly download the recording once you have made payment or you may prefer to purchase a CD which is shipped to you.
