Why Do People Sleep Better when it's raining?

[Narmer]

Just curious. It seems to me I have a better, deeper sleep when it's raining outside. BTW, this is my first post.

Welcome to AT 🙂

Because the hum drops make kind of blocks out small noises...

I don't sleep well when there is a f*cking hurricane outside my window.

White noise. I sleep great whenever I'm at the beach house for the same reason, tends to mask incidental noises that might otherwise wake or jar you.

A small amount of noise like rain or crashing waves helps drown out anything else. Unfortunately it doesn't work out too well sleeping on a boat with engines going full speed.

The rain is soooo relaxing. Unfortunately, my home is so sound proofed I can't hear it 🙁

IMO, it's because you feel more comfortable when you're inside because it's so cold and damp outside.. You feel very cozy in your bed..

I dunno.

It's darker outside.

I feel this way too. The contrast makes me feel really cozy.

And maybe it's just me but I find the sound of rain comforting for reasons other than the white noise aspec... kinda hard to explain. But then I love rain so much that it probably borders on insanity.

Because it is relaxing and it's darker outside.

I wish it rained everyday

I love it when it's really cold but really warm in bed 😀

Why, do you blow?

I think its partly because you don't feel like your missing out on something

cleaner air, soothing white noise
