Why do some people sleep better when it's raining outside???

Question

I feel more sleepy when it's raining outside, why??

Answer 1

The sound of rain on the roof (which many find very pleasant in itself) masks other sources of sound that can draw youR attention (away from sleep). people walking in the building or dropping things or even cars passing by attract your awareness. Although you are aware of the sound of rain it is more like a blanket of sound than a pin ***** (sudden sound). Some people like to fall asleep listening to a sound generating sleep machine that can replicate seashore waves, falling rain, gentle wind or even "white" noise.

Answer 2

Some people sleep better when it's raining outside because the sound of the rain hitting the roof and the ground is soothing to them!

Answer 3

Oh, how I love going to sleep during the rain. The rhythmic sound of it is like a lullaby.

Answer 4

Because you feel warm and safe inside. And what's better than your bed to feel that way! When it rains, I usually like to lay down with a good book and some hot chocolate.

Answer 5

The body contains a chemical known as melatonin. Melatonin is responsible for making us feel sleepy and tired. Melatonin is supressed by sunlight leaving low levels in the body. Vice versa applies for non-sunny days: melatonin levels are able to increase thus making you more and more tired. Rainy days = no sun = high melatonin = more and more sleepy.

Answer 6

Because it is darker outside, and the rythym of the rain (especially on a tin roof) is a relaxing sound.

Answer 7

Rain gives off a feeling of warmth and security..especially when you are at home..The sky is darker...it makes a beautiful sound and leaves a beautiful smell on the ground..especially on grass..
