Why do we like listening to ghost stories? To lull yourself to sleep “Even if fear enters your brain But I have to listen to it every night.” This story has the answer!
“First of all, I would like to say hello to Brother Jack. And everyone in The Ghoster gang as well. If you speak too quickly or too slowly, we apologize in advance. It’s the first time I’ve told this story and I’m a little excited. So let me start telling the story.”
I believe that many people You must have heard a hello phrase like this from a famous horror show in Thailand. which has been popular and trusted by viewers to be a lonely friend at night for a long time and at the same time Many people also use hair-raising programs like this. It’s a lullaby tool. Never heard it until the end of the story. Let the presenter talk to the two storytellers. In the midst of the sweet dreams of the listeners, they almost forgot that This is a ghost story show.
The interesting thing is Consuming horror stories at night It should arouse people’s fear so much that they cannot sleep. Isn’t it more than making you feel sleepy? So why do most people fall asleep when they listen to ghost stories before bed? It’s easier to fall asleep than if they don’t listen to anything at all.
In fact, things that make us feel sleepy It’s not exactly a matter of ‘ghosts’, but a matter of ‘behavior’ as well.
This story Jeff Kahn (Jeff Kahn), one of the researchers on changing sleep behavior using technology. and co-founder of RISE, a sleep application Explain the relationship between listening and sleep by stating: Listening to media such as podcasts helps your brain relax. Reduce anxiety And create a daily routine to signal your body that it’s time to sleep.
Also Dr. Lindsay Browning (Dr. Lindsay Browning), a clinical psychologist and author of ‘Navigating Sleeplessness’, a book about how to sleep better, says listening to podcasts distracts us from other things. Apart from what we are thinking or stressing about. This makes it possible to let go of anxiety in the short term. Or it can be said that While you are thinking and imagining the appearance of the dancing ghost while listening to stories from the ghost program. It might make you momentarily forget your boss’s scolding or the stupid task you’ve been corrected for the hundredth time. When you’re more comfortable, it’s easier to sleep.
The next question is Among the many types of podcasts including science, psychology, politics, business, and even podcasts specifically for sleep. Why is ‘Ghost Stories’ the most popular podcast? To listen before going to bed
The answer is Consuming media related to horror stories It can reduce levels of cortisol or the stress hormone. According to a study titled ‘Pandemic practice: Horror fans and morbidly curious individuals are more psychologically resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic’ published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, people who consume horror stories are more emotionally resilient. and had less mental distress than those who disliked horror stories Because fear triggers physiological responses such as a racing heart, sweating, and dilated pupils, the body then goes into negative emotion processing mode to escape the fear. When the horror is over The body will begin the process of calming down. Resulting in the heart beating more slowly. and stops producing the hormone cortisol This helps the brain feel relaxed.
However, many experts express some concern about listening to podcasts before bed. It might not be a good routine. Because in the end ‘noise’ may disturb our sleep. which in this matter Dr. Lindsay further added that Consuming media before bed is no different from capturing information and stuffing it into your brain. It will try to stay awake to process the information it receives. That’s equal to If the story you are listening to is so compelling that it attracts too much attention A story that I want to be a lullaby for before bedtime. It might turn into hot black coffee. that wakes you up all the time
Although there are both advantages and disadvantages. But believe me, Enjoying sounds from ghost programs It’s definitely better than the body enjoying the effects of sedatives. Because in the end If finding something to listen to doesn’t disturb your sleep It’s more beneficial than just closing your eyes for 2 hours and discovering that you still haven’t fallen asleep.
Therefore, it is not a problem if before bed we take a relaxing shower, sip warm milk, turn off the lights, and turn on The Ghost Radio to listen to horror stories. Then you fall asleep with the ghost who sends you to sleep. Because ghost stories may be less scary than the stories you have to face tomorrow.
