I feel like this is what's most comfortable for our brains naturally. I know some people prefer silence but I feel like it just makes sense that humans would need ambient noise (I listen to rain sounds) and possibly some dim light to sleep comfortably. for me the dim light is to fight that fear of the dark/unknown and the ambient noise because humans haven't slept in super quiet houses for the majority of our existence (correct me if im wrong) so I think it makes sense that what's most comfortable for us would be a bit of background noise, even if it's a fan or soft rain personally I keep a fan on and do thunderstorms or basic rainfall depending on my mood. although I hate that there are so many ads on those videos and really don't want to check my spotify wrapped in a few months and see 100000 hours of rain sounds so if you know of any channels like that that consistently have no ads let me know lol

I love staying in cities for that ambient noise outside. this video shouldn’t have ads, I haven’t listened much to it but I have listened to this channel’s brown noise videos a lot https://youtu.be/7dqSOootEQY?si=G36NJHfzTJngIL_W

sniffle thank you 🙏🙏 I love the city ambience too since I live in the middle of nowhere lol. I stayed in downtown Chicago once and I thought the L train would be waking me up all night since it ran next to our hotel but it was actually kinda vibey

i’m incredibly sensitive to external stimuli, especially noise (which I find a little funny because i’m a musician and surrounded by noise all the time) .Brown noise is a less harsh version of white noise and I find it much more calming to listen to.I play it quietly every night to sleep. Living in the city it helps to drown out all the weird chatter, chirping birds, car screeches, and cat fights. Or when I’m back home visiting family in Atlanta, where it tends to feel too quiet at night, it adds a nice cushion of noise to an overly dead room.Another big use for me is when i’m overstimulated or anxious. On tour, I play it in my noise canceling headphones on long drives while I sleep or read to block out any talking and music. I also listen while I get ready before going on stage so I can focus on just what I need to do instead of getting distracted by what everyone else was doing around me

It sounds almost dystopian to say, a lot of us can’t do anything without YouTube or noise to drown out all the noise we experience in one day. I go to sleep with this on in the back and the visuals either on a projector or dim lit laptop screen.

The best sleep-soundtrack is not thunderstorms or white noise or waves. It’s Simlish. It’s Buy Mode. It’s all the familiar sound-effects.

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to

"yap" about the things that interest you all you want; enjoy your hobbies and pour your heart into them, stop worrying about if what you're into is "cringe"; if your friends don't like your hobbies/interests and put you down for enjoying them, find people that will; surround yourself with people you love who love you back and you will be so much happier than the people that are so quick to put others down for pursuing their happiness
