I noticed that many people I know often talk about sleeping with headphones on. This has already become the norm nowadays. We are also talking about those cases when you fell asleep with headphones on in the subway. After a long, stressful day, there's nothing better than switching off for a while while listening to a podcast or music radio show blare. Sleeping soundly with headphones in your ears is completely common. Attention, question: is it safe?
Let's figure out whether sleeping with headphones is harmful
There are a few interesting things about sleeping with headphones. Before you get a great night's sleep, remember them.
Music is believed to have a positive effect on memory, but only when the frequency of the sounds matches the frequency of the brain waves. Music helps improve creative perception, but only with conscious brain activity. The subconscious has a greater impact on sensations: if you do not feel discomfort while sleeping with headphones on, then this approach will not harm you.
Peace or problems?
In a dream, listening to music through headphones means that you dream of finding spiritual balance. However, according to the dream book, a lot depends on the melody itself.
So listening to melodic music brings peace and satisfaction.
If you happened to listen to excessively loud, almost demonic music through a headset, then troubles are coming with children or relatives.
Remember everything!
Sometimes the musical rhythms in the headphones are like the background of a vision. They help to better reveal the situation, the character of the characters and their intentions.
The dream book recommends remembering not only the melody itself and the words of the song, but also your own feelings in a dream.
Did you dream that there was a pleasant, quiet song playing in your headphones that you enjoyed? In reality you will enjoy all the joys available. If it caused negative emotions, then an extremely unpleasant event is coming.
Is listening to music while sleeping beneficial?
In fact, with the help of a song you can relax well, but keep in mind that it will be calm, quiet, classical musical accompaniment. During wakefulness, a person loses a large amount of energy, and if there is also a stressful pace of life, a disruption of biorhythms may occur.
People become more irritable and may experience stress. At such moments, a calm song will help, thanks to which a person receives inner peace, completely relaxes and restores all the energy spent during the day.
Do you have any doubts?
Why do you dream about headphones from your phone? The dream book is sure that this is evidence of the need to always be aware of affairs and control the life process.
Talking in a dream using a phone headset means that you are looking for conditions that will help you realize your plans.
Did you dream that your phone headphones broke during a conversation? In reality, you doubt that others hear what you are trying to convey to them. This is also an indication of some obstacle in business.
Is it harmful to sleep (fall asleep) with headphones on?
We decided to try a new genre for ourselves on GeekTimes - a post-question, and it’s not an idle question: is it dangerous or not to fall asleep with headphones on?
Ever since the “presentation” of sleep headphones here, questions and critical reviews have arisen in one way or another on the topic that “sleeping with headphones is very harmful.”
What do people say about this?
The Internet, as always, is full of experts who live on forums, answers.mail.ru and other sites that are authoritative for many, who to a certain extent claim, although without citing anything, that sleeping with headphones is harmful.
It is important to note here that most conclusions are presented through the introductory “I think” and its derivatives: “it seems,” “I believe,” and so on. Our local analogue of Quora (where, by the way, a similar question was also asked), The Questions, where it has become customary to look for answers to all questions, also did not ignore the topic and is displayed almost on the first line of the search engine:
And again, “I think, yes, it’s definitely harmful” and “it will definitely be a big minus.” Unconvincing, but categorical.
In 2016, a note was published in Russian on the Moscow Medicine portal, where you can also read without links to studies:
Listening to music before bed may be detrimental to sleep quality
No research has yet analyzed the impact of this habit of falling asleep with headphones on, but recent studies have shown that using headphones during sleep can disrupt sleep by changing sleep cycles and thereby reducing sleep quality .
Harmful VS safe
The main problem with answering this question is probably related to the substitution of concepts: indeed, there is reason to believe that sleeping with headphones is unsafe for a number of reasons. Even on Western forums in question-and-answer mode, doctors make the same mistake, confusing the harm and potential danger associated with the fact that a person can listen to a fire alarm or gas leak detector.
It is what it is. You can strangle yourself with a wire, you can listen to an alarm, thieves, murderers. There were also some really trashy cases (Caution), but all of them were in the category “danger to life and health due to closed ears.”
What do you mean by harmful?
In this regard, the question has arisen, what is meant by “harmful to sleep with headphones.” We should probably answer that this should be interpreted as direct damage to the hearing organs caused precisely by headphones during sleep.
And here, too, some difficulties will arise, because the harm from headphones seems to be obvious. But there is no convincing evidence anywhere that falling asleep with headphones inflicts this harm “better.”
Yes, listening to music on headphones can have a negative impact on your hearing, which is proven and obvious. However, not only noise in headphones, but noise in general is a harmful thing. Whether your hearing deteriorates faster or slower, judging by research, it will inevitably happen. But in this sense, it turns out that headphones, such bastards, are equally dangerous not only at night, but also during the day.
Music for sleep
The influence of music on the body seems to be proven. Moreover, she can both heal and kill.
It’s difficult to talk about music therapy, of course. However, there are some indirect indications that sleep music does exist. This must be understood in such a way that certain frequencies tune a person to a certain mood, promote relaxation, relaxation, which facilitates the process of falling into sleep.
On the already mentioned forum, doctors also succinctly suggest this. And in more extensive studies, one can find the conclusion that music helps in the following way: by reducing pain in fibromyalgia, which provokes insomnia, it helps the patient to fall asleep. Or as a preventive measure for the same insomnia - with post-traumatic stress disorder.
At the same time, it is worth noting that there is no need for any specific indication of how you should listen to music, with headphones or not. The influence of relaxing classical music has a positive effect on students' sleep, and again - with headphones or not?
The author's material lists some problems that may arise when using headphones. Among the already mentioned dangers of suffocation, difficult reaction to alarms, skin necrosis is noted, for example, however, with reference to a women's magazine. In this case, we are talking about the “plug” type of headphones. It is noteworthy that as an alternative and a method of safe listening, the same author cites headband headphones, including SleepPhones.
In other words
As a summary, summing up the question itself, it should be noted that:
- Headphones while sleeping can be dangerous, but the harm to health and hearing aids has not been proven.
- Hearing damage from using headphones at night and during the day is equivalent.
- Music may be recommended as a non-pharmacological means to facilitate sleep induction
- You can probably listen to it with or without headphones - the advantage of headphones is that it will not disturb those around you.
In this regard, the question is, what do you think?
Voluntary suspension
Why do you have a dream in which you happened to wear a headset? The dream book believes that this is a way to step away from the world and find your own outlet for the soul.
Seeing other characters wearing headphones means that a certain person wants to get rid of you.
Did you have to wear big “mugs” in a dream? You dream of rest, even for a short moment.
Did you dream that you, on the contrary, tried to take off your headphones, but couldn’t do it? Living alone is depressing, and you strive to make friends without success.
What are sleep headphones
This concept refers to headphones that have good sound insulation and do not create discomfort to the ears when used for many hours. Many models are made of breathable materials to prevent your ears from sweating at night.
In addition, such headphones are designed not for listening to music, but for creating an environment favorable for going to bed. For example, advanced models play soothing, melodic music. But once the user falls asleep, the speakers stop working and only noise cancellation is activated. Due to this, the user will not wake up in the middle of the night from the noise of a drill or the crying of neighbor's children.
Be ready!
Why do you dream about buying headphones? The dream book is sure that this is a sign of tiring and extremely useless trips.
If you dreamed that the new equipment had long and tangled wires, then get ready for an incomprehensible and strange situation.
But buying a cool device that you have been dreaming of for a long time symbolizes profit and a special event.
