It's raining, it's pouring, I'm gonna be snoring. . . wait, that's how it goes, right? The rain sounds sure put me right to sleep! If you also enjoy rain sounds for sleeping, this 10 hour rainstorm video is a great tool to help you fall asleep. As the fog rolls in and the wind picks up, the storm sounds create a steady white noise. This is ideal for blocking out distracting sounds from traffic, neighbors, family, pets, music, tvs - the kinds of sounds that can keep you wide awake at night. As the natural white noise of the raining makes those distractions fade into the background, the mood is set to help you fall into a deep sleep.
In addition to using the rain noise for sleeping, people often find the sound masking aspect of the rainstorm useful while trying to focus. Here again, blocking out distractions is super handy if you're buckling down to study for a test, do homework, finish assigned reading or write an essay. Or, if you're working from home or at the office and are easily distracted, listening to storm sounds can help minimize those distractions, allowing you to concentrate more easily.
And, of course, mother nature helps with relaxation. The American Heart Association says, ""Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood, and boost feelings of happiness and wellbeing. . . humans evolved in the great outdoors, and your brain benefits from a journey back to nature."" Sometimes, when you don't have the chance to go out in nature, it's nice to listen to nature sounds of rain and enjoy a peaceful moment.
