White noise, binaural beats, sleep hygiene, and ADHD sleep tips. Research-backed guides from The IOn Project.
Most sleep advice online is generic. It'll tell you to keep your room cool and cut off caffeine, which is technically true but not actually helpful if you're lying awake at 3am with a racing mind. These guides go deeper into the science. They cover what actually matters when generic tips don't work.
You'll find research-backed breakdowns of white noise versus pink noise versus brown noise, how binaural beats actually affect your brain, and why ADHD sleep feels completely different. IOn Sleep builds on all this with tools designed for overthinking minds. It's not just ambient sounds. It's strategically layered audio based on what science says will actually help you quiet your brain and fall asleep faster.
Try IOn SleepScience-backed audio techniques to quiet racing thoughts at night. Learn why your mind won't shut off and how pink noise and binaural beats help.
