Janne gives us a deep dive into the efficacy of noise-masking technologies on sleep performance.
Thought to be an ideal solution to drown out ambient noise that impedes sleep, new studies are now indicating that while noise-masking may help you fall asleep, it can actually be detrimental to one’s overall sleep performance – in particular slow-wave (deep) and REM sleep cycles.
This is significant given that noise-masking – white noise, brown noise, or soundscapes – are some of the most common tools used by people to improve sleep. In fact, there are over 250 white noise apps on the Google Play store – that actually may be doing more harm than good.
Janne speaks in detail on topics such as: the epidemic of noise-induced sleeplessness and its impact on societies ($900B/ year in lost productivity); emerging science concerning the efficacy of white noise; a comparison of white noise vs. active noise cancelling tech; and more.
