When I was lying awake one night, thinking about my plight as a light sleeper, I came to the realization that even the places that are supposed to be the most quiet can’t hardly achieve silence. Even with earplugs in, some noise always manages to sneak in and ruin my bubble of tranquility. That’s when it dawned on me; surely there is an app to help this! But there is not. Though many apps are devoted to relaxation noises and techniques, there are none that deliver the much coveted and very rare silence. This surprised me, as I feel that many people would jump on the wagon with an app for silence; light sleepers, students in a dorm, businessmen trying to finish projects in a bustling office, parents who need to ignore their shrieking children for a bit…. The fact of the matter is, everyone can benefit from the restorative effects of a moment of pure silence, and having that ability with you from anywhere would be key. If it is possible to create a silence app, then I have full faith that iPhone App developers will be the ones who find a way to do it. And if I have mistakenly glanced over such an app that already exists, please do let me (and the rest of the world) know.
