What is it about water?

[Terminal23]

I have one of those water fountains in my room and when I drift off to sleep,it seems so much easier to sleep.What is it about water cascading in a fountain thats so soothing?They should pipe this sound through out the world.Maybe we all be a little calmer.I also have those cd's that have oceans and thunder storms.Those work pretty good to.Just an observation.

Many hospitals have water features because they are "soothing". We have one in our foyer where folks wait to be admitted.

Wife wanted one in our bedroom, but I cheated and made the ensuite toilet constantly run. Same effect!

I find that i really dis-like, even dispise that sound. It does not calm me, if anything angers me. As if it's taunting me.

Doesnt matter if its daylight, or im trying to sleep, I really do hate that sound.

positive ion release?

Birds are attracted to that sound also..cuz of course they need water daily so they habitate toward water..lotsa bird watchers setup fountains or running water sound producing devices..some birds wont come around without that.

personally I sleep with a fan running every night of the year...be hard to sleep without it.

had a fishtank for years, now when i listen to it it gives me bloodshot eyes and a fierce grip that could crush skulls. I can't take any noise when im trying to sleep, gotta be black and silent...

i guess times change

I like black with a fan, lol....I leave the fan on high and pull a headband down around my eyes.

If I try to sleep in a hotel its terrible, lol.

I just have my computer run 24/7 in my room. It's louder than crap but it helps me sleep because it's constant noise. When the computer is off, I can actually hear my watch ticking and it drives me nuts!
