Can’t sleep? This should help!

If you’re like me, your mind is flying all over the place all the time and it can sometimes be hard to concentrate. What is needed in that case is something to level out your thought process, focus your attention, and allow you to be productive. For me, the only thing that works is brown noise. Brown noise is a low-frequency non-specific tone similar to what a radio station gives when there’s no signal.

There are other types of noise, including white noise and pink noise, each with their own sound signature and characteristics, ultimately for us it boils down to different ‘colors’ of noises having a higher pitch while others have a lower pitch.

It’s why people listen to sounds of ocean waves or have a fan running (both generally a brown noise) when they want to fall asleep. I personally can’t sleep without it myself.

But rather than listen to me go on and on about it, you can experiment with it yourself. Simplynoise.com is a website that has white, pink and brown noise and you can select between them. If you need a little cognitive balance every once in a while, this website will serve you well.
