Problem: I’m being driven mad by voices speaking to me thru white noise. Need white noise to sleep
Psychiatrist today suggested:
- normal human speech has typical rhythm, cadence
- fans, white noise audio files are always looped, rhythms in it
- brain is hearing those patterns as human voices
- I need to introduce staggered rhythms to disrupt
Possibilities:
- Willie Nelson, William Shatner speak with atypical cadence. Play at same time as white noise
- phone app that vibrates atypically
- machine in room that generates atypical rhythms, vibrations
Options, ideas? I’d like not to go further insane
So far, new ideas are Buddhist podcasts, asmr videos, futurama and 90s batman. None of which I’d consider on my own. Thank you, internet, for randomly specific variety!
If you really want a “staggered cadence”, try listening to all of the above at the same time. I’m sure it will create a relaxing soundscape for sleep!
Kind of funnily the welcome to nightvale podcast is what I listen to when I’m having trouble fallimg asleep
Is you’re open to not white noise options, I always recommend Nothing much happens podcast. I’ve been a big fan since 2019, I recommend it to anyone to at least try a couple of times
