Sleep aid records sounds - Why They Work

To fall asleep you have to set yourself up for a relaxed state of mind. This is required in order to fall asleep, and the better you do this the better your chances are for a good nights rest and a pleasant tomorrow. People are different, and we all have individual behavior patterns for how to fall asleep, but they all share the same goal in how to get you to enter a relaxed pre-sleep state of mind. Sounds plays a very important part in priming your brain for this, and it is very likely that you are more receptive to one sound over another. So in order to guide you to the sound that is right for you, you should read below about the 3 basic concepts of Genes, Rhythm and Thought Redirection, but remember that they occasionally blend in to each other creating a combination that is very hard to resist...

It's in your Genes - genius...

You are already prewired to take advantage of sounds for sleep and relaxation. Living in the modern world we tend to forget or ignore what the generations before us have done to shape our behavior. Certain reactions to certain events that we may not be fully aware of or have difficulties explaining make us react. Rain, as an example, has always prompted a kind of a timeout for people, causing a natural pause in work and everyday activities, giving us a reason to relax. When rain starts to fall, the sound of it falling on a window or a rooftop; indoors, warm and secure, the people around you and you yourself become subdued in various degrees, a yawn not far away. You are on the verge to enter pre-sleep mode. It just works that way, take advantage of it - it's in your genes.

Rhythm
Ever since you where a kid, rhythm has been a factor for you to be able to calm down and fall asleep - the gentle rocking in the arms of a parent, a soft patting on your head, the soothing melody in a lullaby - it's still in you, just waiting to be triggered again. All of our sounds emphasize rhythm but in somewhat different shapes; rain finds its rhythm in its natural irregularity, oceans and streams in their peaceful steadiness, train rides and our other mechanical sounds provides it with a mesmerizing, but gentle beat. The quality of our recordings contain the rhythm of the object, be it a falling water drop or a train wheel against the rail, it almost seems like a physical presence.

Thought redirection

Thought blocking through thought redirection is a description of what helps you concentrate on something other than your everyday problems and struggles, blocking thoughts that will hinder you from entering a relaxed state of mind so crucial in making you fall asleep. This is something that kids use frequently and without any training, the adventure of going to bed, the feeling of security under that magical blanket that maybe makes them invisible, ready for a journey to places far, faraway. The mind drifts and sleep enters. Many adults have lost the ability to flex their imagination as vividly as kids do, and have difficulty redirecting those pesky issues that always seems to float to top of their mind when trying to fall asleep. Sounds can help in getting your mind occupied with pleasant thoughts, making you relax and maybe put a little color back into your dreams.
