Relaxing Sleep Sounds Help With Insomnia

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.

There are many different factors that contribute to insomnia such as various medical conditions, medications, too many stimulants and even eating too late at night. However, many people tend to lie awake at night because of stress. They worry about their family, health, work and finances. If you are one of these people, you may find sound therapy very helpful.

Many people have found that listening to recordings of the sounds found in nature helps them to release stress and to feel more peaceful. Many of these recordings are found online and some are even free to download. However, the way the recording is made will influence how effective it is. It should create as realistic an impression of actually being in nature as possible.

These recordings of sounds like rain falling gently on foliage, rivers flowing, waves breaking and thunderstorms create a sense of peace and connection with nature. They allow unwanted noises like the barking of dogs or the sound of traffic to be blocked out. Everyone responds to sounds differently, depending on pleasant or unpleasant emotional associations. This is why most online sites selling these products offer the opportunity of listening to a sample.

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, you may be one of the people who does not like the idea of white noise. You may prefer the idea of falling asleep while listening to natural sounds. As you listen to these calming cadences such as frogs croaking, thunder rolling or rivers flowing, you find the stresses of the day melting away. Your heart rate slows down and before long you are gently drifting off into peaceful slumber.

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.
