Tried and true, using the same unit since 1985!
Simply the best solution for light sleepers. I have an older, original Sleepmate that was purchased for me as a gift in 1985. I'm still using it! I was talked into giving it to my Mother-in-Law for a few years and inherited it back. I missed it while it was away but had a chance to try a few of the other options and decided this truly is the best. I tried two different electronic sound machines and was very disappointed with each one. My other solution that works well (but is wasteful of energy unless one is hot) is a standard portable electric fan. The Marpac machine is solid, simple, consistent and puts out enough noise to blend other unwanted sounds into the background. It's a truly effective white noise source that can help you get a good night's sleep. If you have never tried a white noise machine, you may be amazed at the quality and quantity of sleep you can get by using this little device.
