lulls
Pauses in activity
Lulls is the plural of lull—a temporary pause or decrease in activity, intensity, or noise: There was a lull in the conversation, a lull in the fighting.
The verb lull means to soothe or calm, often into a false sense of security: The quiet lulled us into thinking the danger had passed.
A lullaby lulls a child to sleep.
