Do you sleep better when it rains? Here's why.


 

Have you ever heard someone say they sleep better with the sound of rain? Well, this person is absolutely right! Here's why.

According to American researchers, the sound of a downpour, a thunderstorm and waves can trigger a mechanism of relaxation and sleep in some people.

Our brain assimilates these noises as reassuring sounds and uses them to block out other more disturbing ones. For example, an alarm, our phone ringing, a cry, a crying baby, etc.

To take the test, the researchers set off a high-intensity hospital alarm. Result: 90% of patients woke up in alert mode. On the contrary, with the sound of rain, a thunderstorm or waves, the brain understands that all is well. He is not alarmed, on the contrary, he continues to relax.

In fact, if you love special bedtime sounds, there are now several apps available to help you sleep!

You can watch my "rain walk" videos on my youtube channel. You are spoiled for choice.



Besides, the rain is not the only one to make you sleep.

Downpours, thunderstorms, waves ... American researchers explain how its noises manage to trigger a mechanism of relaxation and sleep in some people.

The sound of the waves crashing against the edge of the beach, the rolling of the distant storm mixed with a gentle downpour ... All you have to do is close your eyes and let yourself be lulled by the noise. Why do these sounds help some people sleep? This is the answer to which researchers from the University of Orfeu Buxton (United States) tried to answer. According to them, the brain assimilates these kinds of noises as "friendly" sounds and uses them to block those it considers "disturbing".

They help the brain to understand that all is well

To test their hypothesis, the researchers set off a hospital alarm first at 40 decibels (almost a whisper) then at 70. Result? The patients were woken up 90% of the time. "We are above all primates when a noise, even a distant one, appears our brain goes on alert to warn others of an imminent threat," explains the scientific site Live Science.

So-called "calming" sounds like the sea or the rain act the same, but in the opposite direction. They help the brain to understand that all is well, calm the nerves making the atmosphere conducive to falling asleep.

Osmo pocket, feedback on the experience after 1 year of use.

Image
  As you know, I have been making high definition (4k) walking videos for over a year. Contrary to what one thinks for this kind of video, I opted for a very simple, light,  and easy to use equipment. Quite simply, I am not a photographer, nor videographer, nor professional film maker. I have my job as an employee so the time is very tight to do my shoots.  I must therefore be efficient. But very very efficient. no time to waste to assemble my equipment on site and to think about multiple settings on the camera etc. You have to be operational at all times. Especially since I shoot my videos on my way to work in the morning,  during the lunch break and again on the way home. My videos are also my dailies. This is the reason why I adopted this little camera. DJI Osmo Pocket. It has multiple advantages. 1. very portable. 2.small and light 3. easy to use. very simple interface 4.Very high quality video up to 4K 5. Very stable video thanks to its 3-axis stabilization system. It also has mul
