Description: 2 Hours of relaxing birdsong, for relaxation, meditation, study and sleep. Why do we find the sound of birds singing relaxing? Birdsong is one of the most distinctive sounds in nature and when we hear it, even if it’s just short-term exposure, it has been proven to have a measurable beneficial impact on our mental well-being. To put it simply, it relaxes us and makes us happier. Listening to nature sounds such as birds chirping is also very effective at reducing stress and there’s a good reason for that. For the last 200,000 years or so, humans have found that when the birds are happily singing, things are generally safe, but when they sense danger, even perceived danger, they will immediately stop in the hope of disguising their presence, and that’s when you should be concerned. Birdsong or should I say, the lack of it, is Mother Nature’s burglar alarm. So natural sounds such as birds singing, gentle rain and flowing water, allows us to rest our overstimulated brains at the end of a hectic day. It’s Nature’s way of saying to us: “Hey, don't worry, you can relax, everything is fine”. The scientific reason for this is because sounds affect our body’s hormone secretions, as well as our breathing, our heart rate and our brain waves. For example, sounds that we find unpleasant and irritating, it triggers an increased secretion of cortisol, which is a “fight-or-flight” hormone, designed to let you know when you're in danger. Conversely, studies have shown that listening to soothing natural sounds has a lowering effect on cortisol levels. Countless studies has proven that the healing sounds of Mother Nature help us to find inner peace, as well as providing a nature healing aid to stress, sleeplessness and illnesses. It provide us an opportunity to re-connect with nature itself and enjoy the benefits of living in peace and harmony with all that’s alive around you. There is a direct link between the positive benefits of listening to nature sounds and an increase in focus and productivity, so it can also be beneficial to have these sounds playing in the background while you study. Research has shown that people performed much better at attention tasks when listening to sounds that they consider to be natural and familiar, compared with unfamiliar ones. Nature sounds like the gentle flowing of water or birds singing can serve as a sort of white noise that allows our minds to focus more fully. These natural sounds can also very relaxing, which in turn relieves some of the stress that can build up during study time. Insomnia is a very common sleep disorder and can have a major impact on your health and quality of life. Sleep is vital for health and well-being, and disturbances in natural sleep patterns have been linked to mental and physiological disorders. Adults require seven to nine hours of sleep per night and it’s a requirement that does not change with age. There's nothing better than waking up after a great night of sleep, feeling refreshed, energized and ready to tackle the day. There are so many benefits of a good night's sleep in addition to feeling rejuvenated the next morning, it also keeps your heart healthy, helps to reduce stress and wards off depression. Listening to the relaxing sound of nature is one of the best ways to soothe yourself to sleep at night. This is because it helps to create a comfortable environment for you to fall asleep in and gives you just the right decibel level to drown out unwanted noise. Ambient nature sounds provide the mind with a protective sound cocoon which in turn can be very helpful for when you want to fall asleep.
