It was raining a lot this afternoon and I decided to get some sleep because I felt tired! I remeber closing my eyes and listening to the falling rain! I think I fall asleep in just a few seconds!
This is strange for me because I usually need some time to get cozy and relax before going to sleep but the sound of the rain helped me fall asleep fast!
Have you noticed if any particular sounds help you sleep quickly?

yes, i like the little sound of chatting/talking two people. I like to hear them and it helps me fall asleep quite deep. It is like a rhythm to me and I find it fascinating.

The rain has the same effect on me, as long as it is a steady light beat. the harder the rain the more difficult for me in falling asleep. I like also a nice rhythmic buzz like te razor from a barber shop. It seems like whenever I have that buzz or I am getting my hair cut I just start to doze off. What keeps me awake is strong blowing wind and heavey rain. I don't like that at all.

I love it when it rains.
I love the cold weather and the serenity the rain gives to my surroundings.
But, when it rains too hard and for many days that also brings me sadness thinking other part of my country that may suffer floods and landslides.

I don't think it's a sound that would make me fall asleep. If it comes to that I need darkness way more and silence. As I read the title of your discussion my first thoughed was: strange.. the sound of water makes one run to the toilet! That is how we little kids make use the toilet by letting the tap dripping.. my next thought was.. if it's raining I want to sleep too. But it's not because of the sound but because it's all grey and dark, less sun plus cold. So the only thing you want is to get into a warm bed and sleep.

Hi friend!
Yes I like it when it's raining since I can sleep sounder. I like the sound of the rain falling on the rooftop. The hushing sound is like a lullaby to me. I lay down on my bed, listen to the rain, and after a few minutes I'm fast asleep. I love it so much. When I'm not home and it's raining I wish it would rain again during my sleep.
Love it!

There's something snug and cosy about being wrapped up warm when it's raining outside and I think it's the regular beat of the rain hitting the ground or the trees that has a rhythmic sound that can invoke us to sleep. For me I need absolute silence in order to sleep, if I hear a single noise my brain stays alert wondering what it is.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your situation as i too get quick sleep when it rains not because of the sound that is created but due to the awesome weather created due to rains. I love to relax and feel the weather especially when it rains and i do not know why i get quick sleep when it rains. I do not like any kind of sound when i am sleeping. I was utter silence and peace when i am on bed. ha ha ha.
What say?

Yeah sound of rain really makes us to feel asleep. I like when rain come not only cold it's sound also make us feel relax. Sometime a sound of music or sound from television also help me to sleep. :)

hi there besweet,
most of the time, i do loved to hear the sound that comes from a falling rain. as this gives me a soothe feeling. however, if the falling rain seems to get hard, that is the time that i don't want to hear it. as i don't want the streets to become flooded that a strong rain may bring. anyway, it is really amiable to sleep when it is raining since the weather becomes colder as the rain pours.
