SleepPhones
A lot of people fall asleep with the TV on or are insistent on having music to lull them to sleep. Because these tendencies can disrupt your partners sleeping patterns, SleepPhones were developed. SleepPhones are a comfortable solution that allows you to listen to music or soothing sounds without your significant other being hassled.
SleepPhones are headphones embedded in a soft head wrap that stay on throughout the night. If you want, SleepPhones can even come with carefully crafted tracks that induce sleep.
Pros
SleepPhones are considered a type of sound therapy. If you purchase the carefully crafted tracks, the headphones can literally induce sleep. The binaural beats technology helps adjust brainwave patterns. The technology soothes beta (awake) waves to delta (deep sleep) waves. The beats eventually relax your mind and signal sleep to the brain.
Cons
SleepPhones may be a drug-free solution for light sleepers, but they aren’t a solution for other sleep disorders. SleepPhones primarily help assist people who need background noise to sleep better. These headphones will not address any other symptoms of insomnia.
Conclusion
Music has long been known to help soothe and relax people. The binaural beats technology can help regulate brainwaves to promote relaxation, but there is little evidence to suggest this approach toward treating sleep maintenance difficulties is effective. In fact, SleepPhones are hardly a step above just using your own personal headphones. If you want to see if this approach will be effective for you, just trying listening to music without committing to SleepPhones first.
