Entrainment to Alter Your Brainwaves for Better Sleep.

Hello everyone;

I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"

Not Dead Yet, Me

Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.

Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.

Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.

Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.

Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Entrainment to Alter Your Brainwaves for Better Sleep

The connection between audio and sleep quality lies in the impact of sound waves on brainwaves. Our brains emit different types of electrical activity when we are awake versus asleep, with distinct patterns for each stage of sleep from light to deep REM.

Through a process called entrainment we can synchronize our brains to restful patterns. We can use external sounds to alter our brainwave frequencies by stimulating certain parts of the auditory cortex. We do this by introducing calming, rhythmic tones that match slower delta and theta wave states, audio can promote a more relaxed state conducive to falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer.

We also enhance our sleeping experience by using specific types of audio. Content like nature sounds or white noise have been found to counteract disruptive environmental background noise such as traffic or even snoring partners, while also creating a less stimulating environment for the mind to rest in.

In fact, research has shown that listening to soothing music or guided relaxation techniques can reduce anxiety symptoms and decrease cortisol levels. Further improving overall mood and reducing potential sleep disturbances throughout the night.

Even as a small child I used music to help me sleep. One of the reasons I started down the rabbit hole of sound therapy to create Soundology was to improve my sleep. Now my Soundologies are helping others relax and sleep better.

As a kid the problem was 8 tracks and cassettes had be be rewound. Bothersome tech?, perhaps but not so much today. We can stream albums like Night Soundology while we are winding down and sleeping — all night long with ease.

Go ahead, explore your audio options with nature’s soft noises, meditations, and Soundologies. They are a simple and effective ways to entrain your brainwaves towards better sleep. This way you can waking up feeling refreshed every day. And adopt a —Tackling what life throws at you head-on! lifestyle.

In love, light, and sound,
