Sounds of Sleep

Open the window of your downtown apartment and listen to the murmur of humanity below. 

The sun is going down and you're stretched out on a beach towel. Lean back and listen to the crackling fire while the waves crash in.

Put your towel on the deck, put on sunglasses, lay down, and let the rumble of the motor pushing through the ocean lull you into relaxation.

Take comfort in the fact that you've packed your best tent and sleeping bag. Snuggle in until the rain stops and you can go back out to enjoy the woods.

Chirping through the night out in the woods. Relax knowing that their sound means you can sleep easily.

Grab a good book, lay down, and snuggle under the covers. Relax to the shower of rain outside as you are safe and sound tucked into bed.

Outside underneath the stars with the crickets chirping. You feel the glow from the fire, look at the stars, and relax.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore. Just put on some sunscreen, lay down your beach towel, and close your eyes. 

This will bring back relaxing memories of the fan blowing over while being unable to keep your eyes open. The soft drone of the fan is perfect for pushing the thoughts of the day from your mind and leaving you to drift off.

The sound of the record player's needle on vinyl. The album endlessly rotating with the stylus still in its groove crackling long after the music is over and you've fallen asleep.

This is the classic white noise everyone knows from an untuned radio or television, otherwise known as static. Benefits include relaxation, calming infants, improve cognitive performance, and help with sleep. People have different sounds that help them relax and they can be deeply personal, but white noise remains one of the favorites.
