The Best Option: A Sleep Mask With Headphones
In the last few years, anxiety levels have risen to an all-time high. According to WHO, the first year of the pandemic saw a 25% global increase(1). Pretty staggering if you think about it. And if there’s one culprit that messes with your sleep quality, it’s anxiety.
And like we said earlier, music or sleep-inducing noise is one remedy. The link between sound and sleep goes two ways: bad and good. Environmental noise like traffic or construction work has a negative impact. Meanwhile, white and brown noise, or soothing music have the power to calm anxiety. One example of this is using lullabies to put infants to bed.
Also, bear in mind that sound helps you sleep by relaxing the mind and masking external noise. It’s a pre-bedtime relaxation technique. Not an instant sleep solution.
People who sleep with headphones do so for 3 reasons:
-
Stress and anxiety relief
-
To block out external noise
-
For a more relaxed state for better sleep
If you sleep with headphones or want to try, it’s important to know the dangers, as well as the safest kind to use.
