They mentioned how the sound of rain and white noise improves sleep quality, but throughout history humans lived and slept in tribes. In the spring there would have been sounds of waking babies, and in the warm summer night the sound of making babies.
I wonder if silence produces anxiety and poor sleep…a spring without babies should be a trigger for the tribe to take some sort of action.
- merpnderp 5y agoI mean don't we all have enough data on this? When I lived in apartments, the neighbor's babies crying through the walls definitely kept me up. People making babies make it hard to sleep. Barking dogs definitely make it hard to sleep. People talking loud next door make it hard to sleep. Just last night the high winds kept waking me up. No one makes or would want a device that mimics the noises we're trying to drown out to sleep.
