I have the worst migraine right now and my baby was screaming at the top of her lungs and she finally fell asleep and I finally was able to block out the outside noise thank you!!!

This reminds me of when I was younger. My parents sold my twin sister and I to the carnival. At night we were kept in a cage near the elephants. When the elephants would pee, it sounded like this. What a beautiful memory!
As a child, I was so fortunate to stumble into the world of bathtub relaxation. One night I asked my dad why he took the newspaper with him when taking a bath. And, normally he showered. He said it was a way to occasionally unwind and enjoy some time alone with his thoughts. He didn’t do it a lot, but the next time he did, I grabbed my comic books and asked if I could read beside the tub. So, I laid on the bath mat with my comics and read while listening to the water slowly fill the tub. I remember him turning it down low so as not to fill too quickly. I also remember instantly feeling the wonderful solitude so I never said a word. This was as much for me as it was for him. Neither of us wanted interruptions. I left him to his thoughts as I enjoyed this wonderful new sensation. Comic books had been an escape for me and now I’ve just added another layer by being by the tub. Never saw this coming. I was hooked from that moment on. That would be the one and only time I shared that moment with anyone. From then on, I wanted to be alone with my comic books and my thoughts. I needed to be by the tub or in the tub. Pretty soon after I found that my thoughts of anything outside that bathroom started disappearing. As someone who was a big worrier even at such a young age, you can’t imagine the joy I felt when everything disappeared except that wonderful moment in my new special place. It was like a rebirth. I didn’t understand what passions were at a young age, but looking back, I clearly had found mine. I also didn’t know what meditation was, but I was doing it. No wonder my mind and body were at peace every time I had this experience. To this day, I’m so grateful for the bath experience. These videos bring it all back and provide such wonderful peace from anxiety or any troubles I may be focused on. It’s magic. 😊
I went for about 3 years of night terrors when I was a kid thinking my mum would be kidnapped. One of the few times I felt peace was when I heard the bath running as I knew it was her and she was okay. Fascinating how certain things trigger differently for people
One article I read said, “baths give you a wonderful combination of isolation, quiet and comfort…it gives us connotations of being in the womb.” Our brains are deeply encoded with the love of water. We all seem to feel those goosebumps and tingles when we are near a running bath. Our body is telling us it’s good to be one with the bath. 😊 So, if any of you are feeling stress or anxiety, our bodies are telling us what we need. Let’s listen and make time for our mental and physical health. Don’t have to tell me twice. 💦🕊️🙏🏽🫧 🛁
I get tingles just knowing I’m about to get into the bathtub because I know what an awesome experience it will be. It’s like an old trusted friend. Just knowing it is always a safe place. Turning the water on, setting the temperature, and stepping into that glorious feeling. My little sacred space. My cocoon. I feel wrapped up in warmth and safety the minute I’m in. Once in the tub, I position myself so that I can lay my head down on the side of the tub, partly on my arm. My face is pointed toward the spout as I watch the wonderful healing water pour out of the spout. I prefer low lighting, but if I can’t control that, I drape a dry washcloth over my eyes. It allows for a little light, but also feels just a bit safer as if I’m snuggled up in a blanket and can’t be seen. The sound is like none other as the water hits the tub. Little splashes hitting dry skin causing a delightful shiver. Added to that, the small bathroom acts like an echo chamber. Love how the sound seems even bigger because of that. But, it’s still a small safe place. Ahhhh the magic. Comfy, cozy, and warm. All the feelings that bring me joy and serenity. I don’t care what is going on outside these four walls. Life ceases to exist anywhere except my little sacred space. Being highly sensitive to loud noises and occasional anxiety, it’s so wonderful and cathartic being able to shut out the world for a little while. It’s as if I can be exactly who I am with no judgement because the bath is my unconditional friend. It longs for my companionship as much as I want to be there.
As someone who has lived with depression and anxiety for many years, I’ve learned how to manage it somewhat with help. Even so there are good days and sometimes not so good. But, the one constant that can give me immense peace is running bath water and showers. As a child, I found myself drawn to this sound and it provided me with such peace and comfort. It is a way to escape for a while and pretend I’m in another place of my choosing. I always thought I was the only one who did this, but I never felt odd or strange. It was and is too wonderful. I hope if any of you feel overwhelmed with life or lonely, know there are people like us all around the world. We are not alone. This is a beautiful community with lots of kindness. 😊
I’ve used this particular video to fall asleep to for the last 6 years. I frequently try to change it up from other channels and mic positions, but I always come back to this one. Nice to see you here too!
These REALLY need to be at least 10hrs long as once the sound stops (after 1,2 or 3 hrs say) I wake up and can never get back to sleep in the same way!!!😱🙈
I’ve been laying in bed for almost two hours, trying my best to fall asleep. This new promotion has my anxiety going wild and I’m back to the days of not sleeping well. This is a very calming sound. Thank you for sharing it with us, hope anyone else struggling reading this knows they’re not alone, sleep well everyone 🙏💗
I love this sound so much, (im 13 rn) i tend to get stressed alot about exams or just about school and everytime i go to sleep i play this and it gives me full body chills. It reminds me of when i was around 5-8 years old that i would lay a towel on the floor sometimes bring in a pilllow or just use another towel and then use my mums robe as a blanket and go to sleep either while my mum was in the shower or instead of sleeping just relaxing while my bath was getting ready. I know im only 13 but it makes me relax and reminds me of when i had no stress and didnt have mental health issues. Thanks so much for bringing those great memories back and glad to know im not a freak who likes to listen to water and that many other people do as well.❤
This is really good, except I would bump up the pipe sound a bit. It is being obscured by the running bath. As a child my bed was right by the water pipes where I could hear them as well as hear the tub filling. Really great. It put me right to sleep.
Anytime I’m by the tub listening to it fill and curled up with a towel or soft blanket I’m in Heaven. Laying there knowing my altar is right beside me. I’m the master of my destiny in this moment. I can lay next to the tub and feel the vibration or sit up and lay my head on the side and watch the water run. And, sometimes it might be getting in the tub with a favorite book and escaping into a world of fantasy as the warm water slowly covers me. Enjoying the contrast between the cooler air above me and the warm kiss of the water below me. It’s only a feeling I get here and nowhere else. Listening to the trickling sounds of the water and knowing I’m in the safest place where no one can interrupt me. It’s my precious time to completely let go and be as relaxed as I’ll ever be. Then, as the water gets higher I begin feeling the cool drops hit my body every so often giving me those chill bumps I love so much. Maybe I eventually put my book down and lay a dry rag over my face to dim the light and breathe in warm air. I can make this experience last as long or short as I want. Whatever my body and spirit need in that moment, the bath is there to provide. Depending on where my mind is on any given day, these are the varied experiences I have at my disposal. These moments took many unpleasant experiences away if only for a brief period of time. To this day when I turn on one of these videos, I immediately go back to that magical time when I knew less about the world than I do now and was just a little more innocent. I go to sleep listening to the rumble of water wanting to protect me for a few hours. Bliss.
1 or 2 in morning. Going to the bathtub, open the window, let the fresh air going in the room, sit in the empty bathtub, turn warm water in and set the faucet to just get 5cm of water in the tub. The sound of water start to give me goosebumps and my spine tingle. I lay down in this few centimeters of water until i stop tingling. Sit again feel my spine tingling agin. Then i lay down again... i repeat it sevral time. I love this feeling, the sound, the hot water, the freah air. ( extra bonus it cure any flu or runing nose here)
I've been using this video to relax and sleep for at least 3 years now, maybe longer. I hadn't realised how many views it's gotten since then! How many of those 1.4M (as of my writing this) are from me, I wonder? 😆 I love that people have started sharing their memories of listening to the bath fill in the comments, and figured I would add mine to the growing list! It seems a lot of people curled up on the ground (either directly or on a towel-- I used a soft bath mat!) under their bath towels, which I did as well. I would also nestle myself into the linen closet (which my parents begrudgingly allowed me to do, but not the cats... but I would let the cats in when I was in there anyway 🤫🤭), which had this wonderful smell to it-- the scent of fresh bed sheets and laundry detergent mixed with this very subtle mustiness that wouldn't seem out of place in a library. Combine it with the sound of thundering water echoing through the bathroom (which would sound a lot like this video when coming through the closet doors!), and the warmth and safety of the cat(s) purring next to me... as a kid, I thought nothing was better. To this day, those moments are still some of my favourite memories, even though I'm 29 years old writing this, and it's been a little while since I was small enough to fit into the linen closet 😅. A huge thank you to uploader for making this video, and to everyone in the comments who contributed their own cosy story. Comments sections on YT are seldom this pleasant to read :)
Thanks for sharing such a great story. You have some good memories. Nothing will ever match our bath experiences. Gives us such good feelings and makes us healthier I believe. 😊
