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:

"I don't even know where to start with this! I have been a notorious late sleeper since I was a little kid....I bought this light last week and used it for the first time this morning. Let me tell you, Late Sleepers of the World....this thing is a game changer!" â Amazon Reviewer

"I love this alarm clock! There are so many great features, from the different sounds to the changing light color. I love how easy it is to setup....I also like how the light gets gradually brighter until it is at full strength. It helps me to wake up easier. I also like how you can play the sounds even at night and how it is has a sunset feature." â Amazon Reviewer

"This little thing packs a punch. Right off the bat I plugged it in and it had a nice speaker. There are so many different sounds you can chose from which I love because my daughter likes different ones every night. Sometimes I prefer the rain and she likes the white noise. It truly helps us sleep better which is why I got this one. You can also set an alarm and the clock so it has multiple uses." â Amazon Reviewer

"My wife and I had used another sound machine for about a year and a half. It suddenly died, and we went shopping to get a replacement. The Sleep Sound Therapy System was probably the most expensive unit I found, but the reviews I read were good, and we couldn't stand hearing all the night noises, so I took the plunge. We've only had it for a few weeks now, but so far it's been terrific." â Amazon Reviewer

"I am extremely happy with this purchase. It is made very well, the speaker system is great, and the variety of "sleep sounds" and color light therapy are wonderful. I have suffered from insomnia for a long time, waking up thru the nights and "losing about 3 hours of sleep time" on a regular basis. I've been using this for about a week now. For the past couple nights, I have slept straight thru. And...I waking up feeling refreshed! I absolutely recommend this, without hesitation." â Amazon Reviewer

"I enjoy this clock radio for the exact reason I bought it- the sounds. The sounds are soothing, and I can make them as loud or as quiet as I want them. Also, the clock projects the time onto the wall or ceiling. I prefer the ceiling. It is affordable compared to others. I didn't need anything extravagant. I just really needed the sounds, and the clock, and this suits the bill perfectly." â Amazon Reviewer
