"Paranormal
Activity", a movie about the unseen, or ghost in layman's term, has
successfully given its viewers the creeps, and hospitals can be spooky at worst during night time. However, most
patients have not seen ghosts, or ever believed there's one, but they have
complained of sleep loss during their hospital stay. Why?
Seriousness of the Problem
Being in a hospital for whatever reason is already alarming; what more if instead of getting better, your condition turned for the worse, simply because you can't sleep? Did you know that lack of sleep may affect your blood pressure and your heart rate, plus increase your stress levels? You are in the hospital to get better!
It's Not What You See; It's What You Hear
Most hospitals do
not consider noise a threat to health, but it is. Imagine not being able to sleep when you
desperately want to, or not getting sufficient sleep during your hospital stay
because of intruding noise inside your hospital room or along its corridors.
How would you ever get back in shape?
And noise need not be too loud to cause distraction. It's enough that you hear it, and you pay
attention to it. So, move over, ghost. Noise is a bigger problem!
The
Silent Solution
White noise machines
are portable electronic gadgets that emit "white noise" or low-level
background sound that masks intruding noise and brings it to a level the human
brain cannot understand. What the human
brain cannot perceive, it does not pay attention to, so you don't get
distracted.

Make your hospital
stay beneficial to your health, or to someone you love. A white noise machine does not cost much, but
it can help shorten your hospital stay, and limit your hospitalization costs.
