Falling asleep after a stressful day can feel next to impossible. It can be extra challenging if there are additional sounds—like traffic or barking dogs—that are keeping you awake. One potential answer to these difficulties is listening to rain sounds. You may have heard anecdotal evidence that the pitter-pattering of raindrops can help people doze off, and plenty of white noise and sound machines feature these tracks. But there’s also research that supports the idea that rain noises are a useful sleep aid.
