Thank you. As an average music consumer and fan of music therapy in general I agree with what you're saying. Scammers use unnatural messaging on some relaxation videos too. People need to keep educating ourselves and others best we can on how scam artists have been doing the people in America, including the business owners in America.
A good example to get people started is the HBO documentary "Hacking Democracy" (2006), however old we were then, showing Americans and the world how and why electronic voting machines have never been valid anywhere. Other key examples are pointing out to any unaware people the Founding of America, what man-made religion has always been, what pseudoscience is, and what discord "trolls" are if they had no one to point that out for them either.
You've given me something to think about. Ever since having kids 8 years ago, my husband and I sleep with white noise in the background. I'm going to look into pink noise instead! Thank you!
Thank you for this great post, Heather! I used it indirectly (for my daughter), but we were sleeping in the same room. And when she was finally ready to sleep without it, I could no longer sleep without it. Now? I can't fall asleep if it's on. :)) I love my silence now. :D
A sharp and much-needed reality check. I love how you cut through the noise (literally) with evidence. Sleep is too essential to be left to trends, and your balanced approach really drives that home.
Thank you. This is helpful as I have issues with sleep. I used to use my air purifier as a sound machine at night. But, now that I live in quiet neighborhood I find that I don't need it as much. Some of my sensitivity may be due to my PTSD history. Safety is an issue when you have highly sensitive nervous system., I wonder if you know anything about sensivity to noise in general. I feel it’s become worse for me as I've gotten older. I go crazy in noisey restaurants. I've decided that I'm going to need to take earplugs me. My dinner companion is unhappy with this arrangement. I'm always negotiating where I sit in a restaurant. Maybe I need to see a doctor. Not sure what they would do for me.
BBC Sounds radio 3 mindful/sleep mix works for me occasionally includes rain and birdsong.

Interesting research, thanks for sharing! I'm curious if you can elaborate why pink noise is better than white noise?
