In the hustle and bustle of modern life, sleep has never been more important than it is now.
That’s why sleep podcasts are gaining momentum as a go-to remedy for many struggling to fall asleep. OpenMind recently launched a new original podcast titled Soothing Sleep, which climbed to # 1 on Apple Podcasts Health & Fitness charts during its debut week.
What makes sleep podcasts like Soothing Sleep so alluring, and how do they serve as a helpful bedtime ritual for those battling insomnia?
Do you struggle with falling asleep?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 3 adults in the United States reported not getting enough rest or sleep every day, and an estimated 50 to 70 million Americans have chronic, or ongoing, sleep disorders. Moreover, women are more likely to have trouble falling asleep than men. Almost half of women get less than the recommended 7 hours of sleep per night. They are also more likely to have insomnia.
Regardless of age or gender, reducing stress is a key component of quality sleep. Experts agree that developing a bedtime routine that calms down your mind and body before sleep such as deep breathing and visualizations can make it easier to fall asleep at night and feel well rested in the morning.
Let Soothing Sleep be your new bedtime ritual
Each episode of Soothing Sleep takes you on a relaxing journey filled with rich visualizations and a special breathing technique to help you escape your surroundings and quiet your mind. You can listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
