The Best Sleep Sound Machines to Help Lull You to Bed Each Night

Here’s something all humans can agree on: sleep is important. But be that as it may, it’s not always easy to come by. But there is a a device that will help you get in your recommended eight hours a night, and that’s a sleep sound machine.

Sleep sound machines do just what their name suggests: Project different sounds and soundscapes that make it easier for you to sleep at night. The idea is that repetitive, looping sounds, like that of a fan, can help calm you down, block out distracting noises and lull you to sleep. That may sound a bit hokey at first, but some converts struggle to sleep without one. When it comes to picking one out, you’ll want a model that creates noises you find soothing and, if you’re a particularly fussy sleeper, gives you plenty of options to choose from.
