Haha....disregarding the whale sounds, they play the womb sounds in an infants room so they are more at peace, like they are still in the womb. They used that in a segment from "Old Christine" that was pretty funny.
My wife and I used to play sounds of a rain storm and thunder, because we wanted our golden retriever to jump up in the bed and sleep with us. I know, we were really desperate. She did think it was a real thunder storm for several nights in a row, and then she got wise. Apparently she became smarter than us....damn! |

I'm assuming that it's a psychological thing. Our brains may be wired to calm down in the presence of white noise, such as womb sounds, because it calmed us when our brains were developing in the womb. I know that I can't sleep without a fan, both for the noise and the coolness. (It's not just an AB/DL thing either. A lot of people like to listen to white noise when they sleep.)

I have never heard of this before. But I have heard of certain white noises helping people get to sleep, like me.
Ever since I was little, silence scared me. And well im not as scared of it anymore, back when I was 5 I couldn't keep quite when some said "Shh". I was always scared of the silence as it made me feel alone, exposed and endangered. Now that and my persisting fear of darkness (yes, still) coupled makes sleep hard for me so I almost always end up sleeping with my radio or fan (sometimes my computer) on and more or less of a night light. Its one of those salt lamp things that make you feel good or something. Its annoying, I get critisism from my friends whenever they sleep at my place because I make alot of noise without my noise and light. Of course, he has to be the complete opposite. Anyways, it makes sense to me that sounds that are regular to a person could help them sleep. Such as the sound of a mothers womb to an infant. |

in a museum i went to once they had this room with a surround sound system built into the walls that was supposed to perfectly mimic the sounds you'd hear in the womb. they had it dimly lit with reddish light and there were some cushions on the floor so you could just chill out for a while in there.
i have to say it didn't do much for me... |
