Thatâs a whole bunch of people looking for natural sleep aids that donât involve prescriptions or chemicals. Though there are trendy sleep aids like weighted blankets for more restful sleep and innovative solutions like sunrise alarm clocks for more natural wake-ups, many people still struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Sound machines work by reducing the difference between background sound and âpeakâ sound, like a door slamming or a car alarm. When you use a sound machine, youâre essentially teaching your brain to redefine what it registers as a loud noise, so youâre able to sleep through sounds that might otherwise wake you up.
For folks looking to get their best shut eye, weâve found some of the best sound machines on Amazon that also have alarm clocks. Take a look below at the highest-rated ones, according to reviewers:
