Great gift idea for fathers or anyone at that. Love my new White Noise Machine We use our white noise machine everyday and are very pleased with this purchase from Sharper Image. The sound choices are very nice and it is fun to try them all. Finally a good nights sleep My sons uses the clock for basically the soothing sounds. He has fibromyalgia and has difficulty sleeping and staying asleep. Now he uses the ocean sound or the rainforest and sleeps through the night. Better that medication ! Terrific product and sleep inducing! WE use it every night in the bedroom. It certainly is a terrific sleep aid. Nice design. My only complaint would be I wish the backlight could be lowered more...I just cover with a cloth every night. I do like the product otherwise. Great product! It did what it was supposed to do, help me get to sleep. Worked great. Love the soothing sounds. Helped me from the first night I got it. Thanks for a product that does what it says it does. Excellent gift This gift was for my parents. They were extremely pleased. I would recommend it to my friends. I use it everyday because I work night work. I like the variety of sounds and change to a different one each day. Just wish it had a remote control to go with it. Novel idea but poor implementation Great and novel idea. I would greatly benefit from the alarm except it has
