Developed over six years in consultation with paediatricians, professors, obstetricians and doctors in response to an unmet need for a scientifically based answer to sleepless nights. Sleep Nurse™ is a safe, non-invasive sleep solution for all ages based on decades of research into white noise that’s clinically proven to assist sleep via its effect on brain correlations. A study by The Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Royal Postgraduate Medical School, London, found babies exposed to white noise were three times more likely to fall asleep (increase from 25% to 80%). Testing of pink noise on adults at Peking University, China, found 75% of study participants achieved a more restful sleep and their stable sleep increased by 23%.
How does it work? The science behind Sleep Nurse.
John D Barrow, Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University, explains how white noise works specifically in a lecture at Gresham College. Here’s a paraphrased extract from his lecture, republished with his permission;
Most noise has a frequency, be it high (ultrasonic) or low (infrasonic), speech is in the middle, where we can hear comfortably without straining ourselves, “Some noises have a scale-free character where there is no dependency on frequency- this is what we call white noise. It is random in the sense that there are no correlations in the sound signal over any intervals. There’s no structure. This is the sort of thing that you get if add together many different sound sources randomly. If you stand in the middle of the forest and you listen to trees falling down and birds singing and the wind in the trees, the net result is something close to white noise.”
How does the Sleep Nurse app help?
“The [sounds] are supposed to send you off to sleep or relax you. The reason they do is because white noise has no correlations in pattern over any time intervals, your brain’s pattern of recognition software rather quickly gives up trying to find correlations, switches off and so you feel rather relaxed.”
To operate:
Simply use your iPhone or iPhone dock, select the desired sound and set the volume.
The Sleep Nurse app is easy to use and it really works.
