While for some the arrival of a storm is more heartbreaking than anything else, a British study has highlighted the fact that noises related to bad weather can have soothing properties.

Feared by some, thunderstorms are, however, an unrecognized ally of well-being. In fact, according to a British study, letting yourself be lulled by the sounds of a stormy night would soothe your anxieties and relax you. Focusing on these noises, and therefore on the external environment, allows our mind to empty. In other words, to de-stress.
And to do this, natural noises are much more effective than artificial noises, the British researchers have shown. According to them, this method would be particularly effective in people suffering from anxiety disorders.
In addition to these calming virtues, these natural melodies could allow us to overcome our insomnia. They would have a real impact on our sleep, allowing us not only to fall asleep easier, but also to have a more restful sleep.
In practice what does it give?
To test this relaxation through “Thunder Therapy”, all you have to do is wait for the next storm and slip under the duvet. To open your ears and listen to the sound of rain bouncing off the windows, as well as the thunder that echoes in the distance.
And if the weather is nice, you can always use streaming apps or platforms, like Spotify or Youtube. You will find playlists specially designed to try this “Thunder Therapy”.
