What is the best noise for sleep? Neuroscientist reveals how to find the sound for you

Woman looking at bright light of phone late at night, finding the best noise for sleep.

The best noise for sleep differs between individuals, depending on various factors such as your current sleep environment, various medical conditions, and plain personal preference. However, there are some noises on the colour-labelled spectrum that have more backing and research behind them than others. 

If you struggle to know how to sleep better or find yourself waking up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, you could benefit from finding your best noise for sleep. More than anything else, it can help you concentrate and block out disruption from the outside world - whether that's outside your home or your head.
