If you have trouble getting to sleep, are adjusting to a new environment or just have some noisy neighbors, you may want to try out a white noise sound machine. It seems counterintuitive to play more noise to fall asleep, but the background noise of a white sound machine drowns out other noises that could startle you in your sleep and is found to be soothing, in the same vein as ocean waves or thunderstorms. Check out this list to find the perfect machine to help you get some shut-eye.

Dohm by Marpac, $49

This sound machine is the original sound conditioner, around for generations. It creates a natural white noise with an internal fan you can tweak to your personal preference of pitch or volume. It’s small, lightweight and easy to use.

HoMedics, $18

This sound machine is electronic and not only includes a white noise option, but six other nature sounds to play as well. Play them through the night or set up a timer just to help you fall asleep.

Sound+Sleep, $89.99

This machine is the ultimate piece of sleep technology for the unsettled sleeper. It includes 30 rich and immersive non-repeating sound environments, auto adjusts according to surrounding noises and includes a timer.
