After quitting smoking, some people find it more difficult to switch off. A sleep aid with noise or nature sounds can help create a calmer sleep environment and take the focus away from circling thoughts.

Recurring noises give the evening a familiar setting.

Why consistent sounds can help

Constant background noise creates a quieter soundscape and can help make individual noises in the environment less noticeable.

Many people use this for:

- white noise - Rain sounds - Sound of the sea - gentle natural sounds

This is how you use the sleep aid sensibly

Choose a sound that you like and use it as regularly as possible.

- Keep volume low - use the same sound every night - Use timer if available - turn on the device before going to bed

This creates a familiar evening ritual step by step that combines rest and sleep.
