Benefits of Listening to a Bedtime Story
Whenever we try to fall asleep, our minds can get caught up with racing thoughts, referred to as “sleep disturbance”. The cycle of thinking about everything that happened in your day can easily keep you up at night. Listening to a bedtime story before going to sleep can distract your racing thoughts before they manage to keep you up.
BetterSleep develops a soundscape for each bedtime story to help create the perfect ambiance. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add your own flair to the mix. You have the ability to take control of your sleeping environment and include any sound mix to your bedtime story. For example, if rain sounds help you to relax, you can include the sound in your mix and have it play in the background of any bedtime story.
