Larry Magid: Earbuds to help you sleep
Briefly

An article on Harvard Medical School's website discusses the potential benefits of pink and brown noise on sleep quality and cognitive performance, particularly in older adults. It contrasts these with white noise, which shows little positive effect. Dr. Anil Rama describes pink noise as similar to steady rain and brown noise akin to ocean waves, both serving to soothe restless minds. Dr. Sogol Javaheri calls for more research to understand optimal usage of these sounds for sleep improvement. Author anecdotes about personal experiences with different sounds reinforce the notion that these noises may support better sleep.
Pink noise, like steady rain, and brown noise, like ocean waves, can help quiet a restless mind and ease you into sleep.
Dr. Sogol Javaheri emphasizes that more research is required to identify the most beneficial volume and duration for pink and brown noise in sleep.
