Sounds for sleep by BetterSleep

• Binaural beats for sleep: Binaural beats is an auditory illusion that occurs when two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, but is perceived as one fixed sound. Binaural beats therapy is an emerging form of sound wave therapy that helps combat anxiety and stress.
• ASMR for sleep: Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation that starts at the head and travels downwards as a response to certain stimulus, often particular sounds.
• White noises for sleep: White noise is created by combining sounds of all different frequencies together. If you have difficulty falling asleep or insomnia, creating a constant ambient sound helps to mask the noise happening in your surroundings by reducing the difference between background sounds and a “peak” sound.
• Nature sounds for sleep: Nature sounds like ocean waves, rain, and wind are the original white noise. They help create a relaxing sleeping environment when the world around you becomes too noisy.

1. Create a Soothing Sleep Environment

• Screen-free space: Keep TVs, tablets and laptops out of your bedroom.
• Restful colors: Colors can affect your mood, so avoid having aggressive colors like red or orange in the bedroom. Blue, green, and violet shades will help you relax more.
• Smells: Surround yourself with soothing smells with the help of diffusers or candles.
• Keep it dark: Eliminate every source of light within your home before sleeping and remove anything from your bedroom that emits light.

2. Get Ready for Sleep

• Make sure you won’t need to get out of bed once you get in: Take the time before you get into bed to feed your pet, turn off the lights in the house and do any other little thing that may distract you from falling asleep.
• Find a comfortable position in bed: See if your posture allows you to take deep relaxing breaths.
• Remove your headphones or play your sounds out loud: Headphones might disturb you once you fall asleep, so either place them beside your pillow or play your music out loud on a device or speaker
