Have you ever wondered how soundproofing a quiet space may improve your health? And how does it feel to just sit and relax in a room with no sounds in your home or office? Just imagine the sound of clicking keyboards, ringing phones, loud traffic, pets, noisy kids, or the everyday noises around your office or home.
How can a quiet space help you?
Multiple studies have shown various sounds that occur as part of an urban environment can seriously and negatively affect your health. Unfortunately, most of us are used to everyday noises that we don’t even notice anymore. Those noises are noise pollution and we notice them until they bother us because they are too loud to ignore. That’s when we think about a quiet space or room at home.
Noise pollution can be stressful. In addition, harsh noises in the home environment have been associated with respiratory and cardiovascular issues, including high blood pressure. Some research shows that a minimum of two minutes of silence or meditation may help the body reduce stress and blood pressure. Some people can relax in complete silence and other people can relax to music.
Your Wellbeing
As we said before, some studies show that noise pollution may negatively affect your cardiovascular health. They affect cognitive functions and focus. All these noises that won’t let you sleep or have a regular conversation may ultimately affect your life. A quiet space may help you to get a better life quality.
Like in meditation, silence may help you to become self-aware. A quiet time will help to increase creativity and problem-solving. Also, it might help you with better sleep. The reduction of noise leads to a more vital perception of the environment. For example, silence makes you very sensitive to sounds. You can think well if it is only in a quiet place in a calm place. Silence improves your eyesight is, and it’s easier to plan when you’re in a calm place than in a noisy environment. We can better understand our feelings and thoughts when in a quiet and peaceful place.
This quiet environment would help you get a better sleep besides reducing stress and overstimulation and bringing inspiration, which is essential for emotional health. Sometimes we need to empty our minds to create new ideas, projects, or solutions. A peaceful and silent space can help you focus your mind without distractions.
