Why "white noise" helps babies fall asleep

Are you one of the parents who puts their child to sleep by driving around every night? If so, it is that your little one needs a "white noise" to sink into the arms of Morpheus.

Hush, do not make noise, baby tries to fall asleep. And if it was not so true? To sleep well, absolute calm is not necessary. On the contrary, it weakens sleep, according to Eric Muller of Neo-Nutrition.

A regular noise

The "white noise" is a regular noise like that of a fan, the background noise of the television on, a radio, an air conditioner ... The common feature: it is a noise that is constant , monotone. It can hide other disturbing sounds like a slamming door, a barking dog ... that disturbs sleep and can even wake up. Because during sleep, the only meaning that remains alert is hearing.

Where to find white noises?

Some soft toys (MyHummy, Magic Cradle ...) emit a white noise. Just install it near the baby's cradle to put him to sleep. On YouTube, there are also white noises to make baby sleep.

But the white noise is not interesting only for infants and children. It also allows parents who do not go to bed at the same time, not to be woken by the other when it comes to bed. It can also facilitate the re-sleep in case of insomnia.
