"Cheating Sleep Aids Tested and Proven Effective"
I have good sleep, but once I am awoken, it is extremely difficult to fall asleep again.
Occasionally, it is even harder to fall asleep due to disruptions in my sleep rhythm.
Regular activities like listening to audiobooks, reading, listening to music, or counting sheep aren't very effective because they feel unnatural.
The best method is to utilize the sound of thunder and rain, which is ingrained in the human genome, and there is scientific backing for this:
1. Humans would hide in caves while heavy thunderstorms raged outside, with nothing else to do but sleep; at the same time, the threat of danger was minimized by the storm, enhancing the body’s sense of safety.
This is a genetic-level conditioned reflex of “rain sound = safety + can sleep,” which can be easily reactivated.
2. Thunderstorm sounds are considered pink noise, with stronger low-frequency energy that sounds softer and more natural overall. It effectively masks sudden noises in the environment, encouraging the brain to relax.
3. Resonance response. Continuous, monotonous, rhythmic sounds lead the brain to produce a resonance response, gradually reducing cortical activity and creating a sense of “fatigue → drowsiness.” This operates on the same principle as counting sheep or listening to a fan.
4. Emotional neutralization.
Thunderstorm sounds typically carry a bit of low-frequency rumble (similar to pink/brown noise), which has a calming effect on the sympathetic nervous system and reduces anxiety. They make it easier for the brain to switch from "alert mode" to "relaxation mode" compared to complete silence or sudden sharp sounds.
This video is 10 hours long and has excellent sound quality and can be used.
Of course, searching for thunder sounds on Douyin and choosing one you like is also great—Douyin has a timer function, for example, set it to turn off after 30 minutes, keep the volume low, and try to simulate an outdoor sound.
