As a self-professed light sleeper, I have always kept an eye out for little tips and tricks which might send me to sleep quicker and, perhaps more importantly, help me rest for longer. From drinking herbal teas and wearing an eyemask, to reading a book and attempting meditation, I feel as though I’ve tried it all. Yet, despite these efforts, there’s just one solution that I keep coming back to for a good night’s rest – and that is white noise.
I’m aware that white noise often sparks a ‘love it’ or ‘hate it’ debate, but I’ve always been firmly in the ‘love it’ camp. When I was younger, it would always do the trick to lull me into a nap. And, even in adulthood, I often find myself relying on a hum of static frequencies to drown out any background noise that’s keeping me awake.
