6 reasons for white noise

What is White noise?
White noise is a type of sound that contains all the sound frequencies that the human ear can perceive.

White noise is created by combining all these different frequencies. It has a calming effect on the brain and nerves, because it blocks outside noise.

1. It provides an evening ritual
   People who suffer from insomnia know better than anyone that an evening and sleep routine is important. Such a routine is different for everyone. You can think of activities such as reading, meditating, drinking a cup of tea or listening to music.
   Try to limit more active activities like exercise in the last hours before bed.

2. Use sound as a signal
   Playing white noise in the bedroom can reinforce this sense of routine and let your brain know it's time to go to sleep.
   White noise is the signal for this.

3. Keep the room quiet
   White noise is created by combining different frequencies. It has a calming effect on the brain and nerves, because it blocks outside noise.
   It's not the slamming of the door or the barking dog that wakes you up. The difference in sound will wake you up. A white noise device masks the sound and ensures that you wake up less often. This ensures improved sleep quality.
   
   
4. Trains our brain to relax
   For many of us, the biggest reason for insomnia is the thoughts that just won't stop, how can we relax when there are hundreds of things on our to do list?
   White noise can help by having a sound to listen to and focus on.
   
   
5. Let you stay asleep
   The noisy neighbors don't stand a chance anymore if you use a white noise device. Often you don't even realize how many times you wake up per night. Waking up disrupts your sleep stages. As a result, you spend too little time in REM and deep sleep.
   
   
6. For people with tinnitus
   Tinnitus is a condition where people hear buzzing and ringing in the ears. Between 10 and 15% of the Dutch population suffers from this. Tinnitus is especially present when it is quiet in the room. White noise in these people can help with studying or sleeping.
