Thankfully, I’m never had trouble sleeping. But I know others do have trouble sleeping, and back in my dorm life days, my snoring used to keep the room awake at night if they didn’t have earplugs or earplugs.
And then there are those that require a room with just their white noise machine in order to get to sleep, forget about what will next wake them up and at least get a few hours of shut eye.
We all know at this point that someone who doesn’t sleep well can be a little crabby come morning so it’s with this I have a white-noise machine that might help you when traveling, whether intended for you or for them.
There are considerably more advanced units on the market, but very few that take up about as much space as a Frisbee. In a perfect world, you’re on a beach and the waves provide the crash rather that setting No. 4, but sometimes you get stuck at an airport hotel and sleep is best.
To simply spend $20 and know you have five soundscape settings beyond simple white noise, HoMedics Sound Spa Relaxation Machine can’t really be beat. It’s Frisbee-sized, runs on battery or can be plugged in and has three timer settings or the ability to go all night.
Get some sleep.
