Re: sound machine

There are sites where you can test various sounds, waterfalls, rain, fans...but also noise from white to brown.

I have come to know that brown is my sound. All the others set me on edge. Just me.

Check around to get a machine you can set different noises.

I've used one for years. I do have tinnitus, but I started using one long before that. I'm an extremely light sleeper. I started out with a fan, but once I got accustomed to that I needed to run it even in winter when I didn't need a fan. I'm on my 2nd one and I got it years ago at Sharper Image. Can't find that exact machine or really anything like it anymore. It's also an alarm clock and a CD player all in one nice unit that folds up. It also has a battery backup so you don't lose time if the power goes out. My only complaint would be that it only runs on an up to 60 minute cycle. I guess the thought is that once you're asleep there's no longer a need for the white noise, but that's not necessarily the case for everyone.

I currently have no problem going to sleep with or without it though due to the hormones I take before bed. I think I'll have to give them up next month though.
