Listen to the rain and let go of anxiety? Some people say it works, others are annoying
"Put on the headphones, it only takes five minutes to let you fall asleep", the sound of continuous rain comes into the ears, and the picture is as if you are in an RV, the rain beats on the top of the transparent window, the forest is in the dark, only the faint lights in the car... Some netizens said, "I really want to sleep in this car and cover it with a thick duvet." "There is also a slightly different scene, which makes you feel like a forest tent and the rain is babbling outside. Some netizens said "I like this sound so much".
But some netizens said, "I listened for half an hour and didn't fall asleep." Click on the live broadcast room where the anchor is broadcasting, the window is accompanied by lightning and thunder and heavy rain, some people said that the more they listen, the more annoying they are, "who can sleep in heavy rain", saying that they were frightened by the sound of heavy rain and could not sleep.
Brush video hypnosis, does it have any effect? Some people questioned, "Who will help me turn off my phone when I am asleep?" Someone asked, "How long does the live sleep aid music automatically turn off, is it turned on overnight?" In response, some anchors replied, "You can adjust the automatic shutdown time on your mobile phone." It is understood that there is also a 30-minute sleep-coaxing version on the Internet of "white noise listening to at the end of the bed, relaxing the sound of decompression rain".
Some people have difficulty falling asleep listening to the rain because rainy days affect emotions
Quality sleep is linked to a good life. According to the survey of "China Sleep Research Report 2023", the average sleep duration of Chinese people per night in 2022 will be 7.40 hours, nearly half of the people will sleep less than 8 hours (47.55%) per night, and 16.79% of the people sleep less than 7 hours per night.
In the interview, Han Ning, a national second-level psychological counselor, a member of the Jiangsu Nanjing 12355 Psychological Expert Think Tank, and a senior lecturer in ideology and politics at Nanjing Traffic Technician College, said that the rain sound will be divided into several categories, and in most cases the rain sound is a white noise, which is closer to the sound that the fetus hears in the mother's body, so when it rains, people sleep better. But there are also some rain sounds, because the rain hits different places, such as hitting some metal rain shelters, or other metal objects, the high-frequency sound formed will produce some stimulation to people.
"The best white noise in nature is personally felt to be the auditory enjoyment brought by the rain falling on a large leaf on a rainy day." As for why some netizens said that it was difficult to sleep listening to such a rain sound, Han Ning said that on a rainy day, being in a humid and dark environment may make people feel depressed or lonely. This is not caused by the sound of rain, but by environmental changes caused by rainy weather, which affects people's emotions. These emotions can make it difficult for a person to fall asleep.
Immersion in makeup, eating snail powder... Is sound a reliable sleep aid?
At present, there are still many anchors with the theme of sleep aid active on the online platform, including bloggers with millions of fans. Some are covered with plastic film on the microphone, making various sounds through friction, and there are also strange sounds such as the sound of eating food, puppy paws slapping on the water, pea shooters firing cannonballs, and the sound of eating snail powder and chewing durian stuffed green balls. In a video showing the sound of washing hair, the blogger said that it took 8 hours to dub just for dubbing. Reality makeup shows can also take the relaxing and healing route, there are no superfluous words, only the sound of water, the sound of brushes brushing over the skin, the sound of applying makeup.
Han Ning told reporters that the sound that really helps sleep is actually a low-frequency sound. And these strange sounds, sometimes have a low-frequency effect, but more not to help sleep, but to create a space of imagination and fantasy, in the space of imagination and fantasy to relax themselves, of course, some people will become more nervous and excited because of this imagination and fantasy, more difficult to sleep. Perhaps the audience finds a kind of self-belonging in these strange voices, and finds emotional sustenance in scenes that they usually dare not vent. There are also some anchors who attract traffic by giving people emotional sustenance, just under the guise of helping sleep. Han Ning believes that this is the same as voice communication between strangers, in the process of finding things that you usually want to say but have no place to tell. It should be distinguished that professional psychological counselors will guide the client to find the root cause of their problems in the process of listening, and this kind of sleep aid is just a kind of mutual talk, and the person who confides has no way to make himself aware of what problems he has in it.
