White Noise Machine Sleepmate

View:

If you're in the market for a white noise machine, you're probably already aware of the benefits they pose in daily life and are searching for a healthy alternative to prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids that can leave you feeling hung over in the morning. With such a large selection of products on the market, it can be difficult to find the type best suited for your needs. This article will compare and contrast four different makes and models and discuss the strengths of each for various uses.

The SleepMate/Sound Screen:

According to sale figures, this machine is the most popular white noise machine on the market. The SleepMate/Sound Screen produces white noise by combining all sounds audible to the human ear to "mask" or absorb individual sounds. The sound emitted by the SleepMate sounds similar to that of a fan and is naturally generated; meaning no sound looping or sound lapses like that of a CD. This machine is ideal for those who don't want to add sounds to their environment, but to absorb distracting sounds.

Marsona DS-600:

Many people turn to a white noise machine in order to relax and wind down enough to fall asleep rather than specifically masking other noises. This machine sound conditioner emits the peaceful, relaxing sounds of nature like babbling brooks, lapping surf, and drizzling rain. The DS-600 is also effective in blocking out unwanted noise from loud neighbors, busy streets, or others still awake in the household.

LifeSounds 440 Infant Sounds:

The sounds produced by this machine are specifically engineered for babies and young children. The noise is generated from the natural sounds of soothing surf, peaceful flowing brooks, and calming rain. In addition to white noise, the LifeSounds 440 includes sounds that babies find comforting such as the womb, a heartbeat, and lullabies. It is lightweight, portable, and works with a battery as well as plug for use while traveling or away from home.

Bio-Brite Sunrise Alarm Clock:

Since most people use a white noise machine to fall asleep, it makes sense to combine the machine with advanced alarm clock features. The Bio-Brite not only helps you to wind down, but also to wake with less stress. The most interesting feature about this machine is that it promotes relaxation of several different levels with an artificial "sunset" that dims the room as the white noise lulls you to sleep. The Bio-Brite Sunrise Alarm Clock offers the option of having sound fade out with the sunset or remain on throughout the night. In the morning, this machine will wake you by gently filling the room with bright artificial sunlight. This machine may not be ideal for light sensitive partners that wake after you as it fills the room with light in addition to the standard sound of the alarm clock.

Your reasons for choosing one machine over another will be as unique as you are. Each person has different reasons for suffering from restless nights. While some may need the absolute silence produced by a machine like the Sound Screen, others enjoy the peaceful ambiance created by the Marsona DS-600 or the LifeSounds 440. No matter your sleep and relaxation needs, a white noise machine is a healthy, natural alternative to prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids.

White Noise Machine Sleepmate

It's likely that the 1 in 3 adults who suffer from insomnia and sleep related troubles experienced similar problems as children. It's widely understood that lack of sleep can impact a child's ability to learn and grow, but little information exists about how to identify sleep troubles and ways to solve the problem.

Babies that lack proper sleep tend to be more irritable and have a more difficult time learning new tasks. Tired babies can easily succumb to fits of rage, often chalked up to a personality trait. School age children who lack proper rest tend to function below their innate ability level in school. They can even exhibit signs similar to that of a learning disability simply due to sleep deprivation. Before trying medicines or accepting the behavior, try testing the effects of a white noise machine.

What is a white noise machine?

The white noise machine was developed to aid those who are highly sensitive to noise pollution to achieve the deep peaceful sleep needed to remain alert and refreshed throughout the day.

White noise machines simultaneously emit a soft sound composed of every sound frequency audible to man. The result is a gentle hum that when exposed to, makes it difficult for the brain to subconsciously tune in to the distracting sounds that cause difficulty falling asleep and restless nights.

Winning the bedtime battle

Children require much more sleep than adults. Because adults need less sleep, they don't always realize how little sleep their child receives compared to amount recommended by pediatricians. Oftentimes, the fight to get children to sleep seems like an uphill battle. Many parents think that as long as their kids aren't falling asleep in classes or throughout the day, that they are getting the proper amount of sleep.

For kids who are highly sensitive to noise, falling asleep while other family members are still awake and making noises can be frustrating and fruitless. By placing a white noise machine in the child's room, the sounds of the household are drowned out, allowing the child to fall easily into much needed sleep.

Using a white noise machine to improve concentration

Children with an acute distraction to noises not only experience trouble at bedtime, but at other times throughout the day when relaxation or concentration is required. Placing a white noise machine in the room with babies and toddlers during play allows them to concentrate more on the tasks and functions of their educational toys.

School age children can show marked improvement when studying or completing homework assignments in a room with a white noise machine. For some children and adults, outside noise distractions are detrimental to a steady stream of concentration. When the brain is not distracted by outside noise distractions, children may experience an increased sense of pride in their ability to grasp concepts and work out problems.

Because noise is such a constant factor in our lives, we've learned to tune out much of it subconsciously. For those who can't or have a difficult time doing so, even the slightest amount of noise distraction can have major impacts on daily life that add up over the course of a lifetime. A white noise machine can often be the solution eliminating unnecessary crankiness and poor grades and the beginning of a refreshing life.
