Turns out I don’t need birds chirping, rain falling, or any other bells and whistles to get better sleep.
Out of all of those potential solutions, none have hit the sleepy sweet spot — they’re either not distracting enough or too distracting for me to zone out to. The breathing techniques fail to get my mind out of the negative-thoughts loop that can happen at bedtime , but the rainforest sounds provide too much stimulation.the first weekend I spent in the guest bedroom at my brother’s house in New Jersey, where this little white contraption was placed on the bedside table.
It was extremely simple and intuitive to use — you flip a switch to turn it on, and then rotate the exterior shell to control the volume of the noise. Yes, just the one noise. It’s your only option, and it’s exactly what comes to mind when you think of white noise. The best way I can describe it is a whooshing sound.
I kept the volume in the mid-to-low range, and it was gentle and neutral enough for me to drift off to sleep. When I woke up naturally the next morning, all I could hear was the whooshing. Once I turned it off, all of the other chaotic sounds flooded in. I immediately ordered one on Amazon to keep by my own bed, and my boyfriend loved it so much that he bought one for his apartment. It’s strangely satisfying to use and helps both of us, plus my dog, stay asleep no matter what racket attempts to disturb us.
This may be the most basic tech gadget I own, and also the one I swear by the most. I highly recommend it for any troubled sleepers who aren’t finding all the bells and whistles on other sound machines helpful. Plus, it may be just small enough to use as a stocking stuffer .
