Sound+Sleep Will Lull You To Sleep

In the past I've had serious bouts of insomnia.  Throughout the ordeal I've learned quite a few things on "sleep hygiene", that is the dos and don'ts of achieving a good night's sleep.

 I also learned the value of sleep.  I wasn't functioning very well; understatement, when I wasn't sleeping and I felt awful.  However, there are worse problems to be had.  If left untreated sleep deprivation can lead to a host of serious health issues including heart problems.

One thing that I learned and has helped me is a white noise machine,  I have been using one for several years. The basic purpose of a white noise machine is to mask noise.  This is instrumental for helping me to fall asleep by keeping outside distractions to a minimum.

But, what if there were a sleep machine that did more than just mask outside distractions, but actually went a step further and lulled you off to sleep?


The Sound+Sleep; sleep therapy system, is a natural sleep aid that goes the extra mile and will not only mask outside noises, but induces relaxation with their advanced patented technology. 

Sound+Sleep offers ten sound settings

Not all noise machines are created equal.  I have come across quite a few that didn't have the sound quality of Sound+Sleep.  They usually sound very irritating and seem as if they would completely defeat their purpose.


Sounds of a Meadow


Not the case with Sound+Sleep, the best I've come across to date.    The founder of ASTI; Adaptive Sound Technologies Inc., sole purpose was to produce a quality product that would naturally induce sleep.  All the sounds are very high quality, calming and relaxing.

Some innovative features of Sleep+Sound include an adaptive mode that will actually adjust to your environment.  I usually keep the volume at medium, but if there were an unexpected noise; such as a siren, the volume will increase as need be to camouflage the noise.

Controls
  • Rotary sound profile selector
  • One touch volume adjustment
  • Lighted Display control for nighttime operation (this feature lets you turn off the display lights)
  • SoundStory Richness control
  • Adaptive mode selector
  • 4 level sleep timer (30,60,90,120 minutes)
    with gradual turn off or continuous play

The quality is phenomenal, the sound is not merely one dimensional, but rather multi-layered.  I like that everything is completely adjustable.  Last night I had the sound set to Rainfall, there was mild thunder in the background.  It sounded so real I thought it might actually be raining.    It was so relaxing, I feel that I'm even getting a better nights sleep. 

You also have the option to set the timer for up to two hours.  I personally choose to keep it on throughout the night, because I feel like I'm getting a better quality sleep. 

Rainfall
My faves are the rainfall, brook, ocean, waterfall, fireplace and I also really love meditation.  Meditation features the new age music that you hear when you're having a massage or in a pilates stretch class.  Beyond relaxing!

Sound+Sleep; PTPA Winner

Sound+Sleep is parent tested and parent approved. Valuable for parents with little ones; or older ones, that are easily distracted or have a hard time relaxing. 

I also think Sound+Sleep would make a fantastic gift.  I don't know of anyone who wouldn't appreciate the gift of relaxation.   For more information visit soundofsleep.com

  15. If you live with someone that has insomnia, soon, you find yourself having awful sleep too because they are tossing and turning or talking to you etc. I would love to get this for my husband because he has been on sleep aids for over a decade and I DO NOT want him to continue to damage his body with these awful pills. I see that this helps you to get off pills and I really like that

    ReplyDelete
  143. Wow! This sounds great - to be able to sleep without drugs - I would love that. I found it very intersting that this machine was used at the Stanford Medical Center for their patients. Also the connection between sleep problems and childhood obesity was very interesting to read about. I have suffered with sleep problems for years and obesity is a problem also. I wish I had had this info years ago. I have read all the info on this site and all of it is interesting and worth reading.
