Using Water Fountains As a Natural Sleep Aid

Post by sakiraa1 » Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:07 pm

A good night's sleep is very important for emotional and physical health. We all have trouble sleeping sometimes and often times the reason for our bouts of insomnia has to do with distraction. In order to fall asleep we must calm our minds and be at peace with ourselves. Otherwise, we will wake up during the night, or perhaps never fall asleep to begin with.

An indoor wall fountain can help prepare you for sleep. The waterfall proves an effective and attractive way to help relax before bed time. Listening to the natural flow of water will help relax you from stress, upcoming events, city noises, snoring and other distractions.

Indoor wall fountains are naturally soothing; in fact, the sound of a waterfall is generally considered one of the most relaxing sounds of nature. Whenever a wall indoor fountain is in motion, water is traveling down the surface of a fountain and dripping into the basin underneath. These are actually the same sounds that would be heard in a serene nature setting, or by a baby inside the womb. These repetitive and peaceful sounds can help babies, children or even full grown adults drift to sleep.

Wall indoor fountains create a noise that is very easy to hear, and can actually overpower traffic noise TV noise, pet noise or the voices of other people. Imagine hearing nothing but a relaxing and natural sound as you prepare to fall asleep for the night!

If you are shopping for an indoor wall fountain then start by finding one that has a highly audible sound, adequate for the size of the fountain. Fountains come in a variety of designs, such as large streaming fountains, multiple small streams and softer water falls. You should also be aware that when the water has to travel a farther distance the sounds of the water hitting the basin will be much louder. In contrast, fountains that have a stream of water gurgling up on stones or similar material will not be nearly as loud as an ordinary fountain.

Just noticed every post by sakiraa1 is generic "advice" and a google search showed a gazillion forums they have joined. And the ones that hadn't already deleted the posts had generic advice posts like these. I'm not easily "had" but I think this time I've been had. But was fun thinking about porch sleeping. I'll post this on the other 4 threads.

P.S. In asking myself "WHY?" I noticed a link at the bottom of their posts, but don't trust my virus protection enough to click it.

Hmmm.... I agree kteague. This is obviously a spammer. This poster needs to be banned. All they're trying to do is use this popular forum to increase their google search ratings. That's just rude. In fact, their posts should be removed. Carolyn, Johnny?
