A Father's Night Sky Story - Creating a White Noise App for My Late-in-Life Child

 Hello, I'm a 53-year-old father to my two-year-old son, Junseo. I never imagined I'd become a father at my age. My wife and I had lived many years as a couple without children when we received this unexpected gift. At first, I was scared, but now Junseo has become our entire world. The Sleepless Nights Begin "Junseo, it's time to sleep..." Every night, I repeated the same words, trying to put Junseo to sleep. But he wouldn't drift off easily. Tossing, crying, fussing—the nights seemed endless. Both my wife and I were becoming increasingly exhausted. Juggling work and childcare is challenging even for parents in their 20s or 30s, but at 50, it was an even greater challenge for me.

When I became a first-time father at 48, to be honest, I was scared. “Can I really raise a child at this age?” “Will I have the stamina?” I often wondered how much help I could really be to my wife, who is almost eight years younger than I am. But unexpectedly, my life experience turned out to be a big asset in parenting—and the discovery of white noise completely revolutionized our family’s sleep routine. A Chance Encounter With White Noise When our baby was about three months old, my wife had to visit her parents for a few days. I had just left my job and ...

The Effects of White Noise on Sleep and Concentration

 Hello everyone. Today I'd like to talk about a topic that has recently caught my interest – 'white noise.' If you're someone who struggles with getting quality sleep in your busy life or has trouble concentrating, you've probably heard of white noise. Let's explore together what effects it actually has. What is White Noise? White noise is a type of background sound that contains equal intensity across all audible frequencies. In simpler terms, it's similar to the static sound you hear when a TV channel isn't working, the "shhhh" sound of a radio, or the consistent hum of a fan or air conditioner.
