How can I find white noises to download for free?

I need it for my tinitus (bad noises in the ear) and to cure insomnia.

Dr Sleep answers:

After having no luck finding white noise on the internet, this person made his own sound files to help their baby fall asleep. There are a lot of downloads: http://cantonbecker.com/music/white-noise-sleep-sounds/ there are white noise files and ones with heartbeats & other sound effects.

This website has a flash app that plays white noise, you can adjust volume & oscillation. There are also some downloads: http://simplynoise.com/

here’s a blog that has some relaxation music for download, that might help.

download all the free music you want from this website: http://www.jamendo.com
they have a lot of mediation, lo fi, new age-y music. Michael Wehr and Celestial Aeon Project are two artists i recommend for chill-out music, but if you search minimalist, nature or white noise you are sure to find something. There are reviews so you can get an idea of what you are getting.

I have struggled with insomnia my whole life, so i know how you feel. I wear earplugs & that helps me, though it may not help with ringing in the ears. My boyfriend’s dad has tinnitus and he uses an over-the-counter medication for it, so that may be something you can look into. Good luck. ^_^

Mark asks…

yoga for insomnia?

i´ve heard that yoga postures can cure insomnia, leaving you feeling more awake in the morning. do you know any websites that have free online videos that teach yoga which can make me sleep better at night and feel more rested in the morning? are there any other suggestions you may have for someone who feels very tired when he wakes up in the morning.

Dr Sleep answers:

I have sleep problems, too, but this is a yoga exercise that has helped me fall asleep.

Prepare yourself for sleep and get into bed, lying on your back under the covers. Your legs can either be straight or bent at the knee with your feet flat on the mattress.

Place one pillow under your head and have another close by.

With your eyes closed, begin to breathe through the nose, making your exhalation twice as long as your inhalation.

Keep your breathing smooth and effortless. Also, don’t try to direct your breath to any part of your body. Let the 1:2 breathing ratio be effortless, something you can keep up.

Remain on your back for eight breaths, then roll over on your right side and place the second pillow between your knees.

Now use the same 1:2 breathing ratio for 16 breaths.

Finally, roll over to your left side, with the pillow still between your knees, and use the 1:2 ratio for 32 breaths.

This totally relaxes you and empties your mind. It’s worked for me. Good luck!

Your Questions About Insomnia Cures For Children

Linda asks…

Questions and Cures for a urinary tract infection?

On Tue I went to my rn and she said i had a uti and was sending out a culture it didn’t burn so i went to my gyno to double check his strips came out negative, but he sent me to the lab to do a culture. On Thur my culture hadn’t come back yet and i didn’t want any problems so my rn gave me Augmentin but i took it only once thurs. night because it gave me bad insomnia and i have 4 children under 6. When i went back to my gyno he said that my uti was very mild only a 50 and said that it is possible that one pill might have cleared it up? Iwent back to the rn yesterday and she is sending out a new lab culture to see if it is gone. If it is not can anyone suggest an antibiotic with very few side effects because i don’t tolerate them well. Also can a zpack work to clear up a very mild one?

Dr Sleep answers:

It is extremely unlikely that the infection is gone.

First- there is an over the counter medication called Azo Standard that relieves the symptoms of a UTI. It gets rid of the burning and the urgency, but it does tint your urine bright orange. (It’s harmless and temporary.)

To treat the infection, take Cranberry Concentrate Capsules and Garlic Capsules- 2 each, every four hours.
Drink copious amounts of water and urinate as frequently as you can.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugar- including fruit juices.
Rest as much as possible. You should notice a difference in 24 hours.
Keep taking the garlic capsules (decrease to 3x a day) for a week to ten days.

James asks…

What causes insomnia? Is there a cure? Also, anything I can do to help myself, aside from taking sleep aides?

I’ve had insomnia for a while now [a couple of years], but I don’t really take any type of sleep aides, only because I have young children at home, and about a year ago I had taken something and didn’t wake up for an emergency, so that’s out. Paranoia I suppose, but I’d rather deal with no sleep then a hurt child. =P

Anyway, I was just wondering what causes insomnia and is there a cure [or something I can do to help myself without using sleep aides]? Thank you!

Dr Sleep answers:

So beer is out then. Well I am out of ideas then.

Chris asks…

Presistant sleep imsomnia cures?

im not sure what i need! im making an appointment with my doctor this week, but id like to stay away from sleeping medication if possible… I have had severe sleep insomnia for years, its gotten progressively worse since my boyfriend started an overnight job.. Aweful things that happened to me as a child keep rasing through my head. and if im not laying next to the wall, forget it ill be awake all night… im up until 5 am sometimes and if i do manage to fall asleep before then, im up every hour after that.. idk what to do =(

Dr Sleep answers:

You are very wise to want to stay away from sleeping medication as much as possible. What you really want to do is to get to the root of the problem and solve it so that you can sleep.

A good therapist can be invaluable in these situations, as you must sort through the traumatic events that you have gone through and get over them and learning relaxation techniques would also not hurt. This is best done with the support of a professional.

Good luck.
