FORGET zolpidem - a British low-cost airline is claiming to have made a major breakthrough for insomniacs, and particularly for the fairly limited cohort who find it easy to sleep on a plane.
A new 10-hour 'Jet Sounds' album released by easyJet simply consists of the continuous drone of an aircraft engine, with the airline claiming to have consulted a sleep expert to create the new recording.
"The soft, repetitive ambient drone of white noise can drown out sounds, gently settle the brain and aid the on-set of sleep," said Dr Sandra Wheatley.
"The low throb of a powerful jet engine is ideal for this".
The album was recorded at 39,000 feet en route from Gatwick to Nice and features "the sublime harmonics of a pair of CFM56 twin-spool high bypass turbofan engines," the carrier enthused in a press release.
All ten hours of white noise are now streaming on Spotify and YouTube, and also available for download for $16.99 on iTunes and the Google Play store.
All proceeds from easyJet's 'Jet Sounds' EP (pictured) will go to the UK-based Children's Sleep Charity.
