The effectiveness of white noise as a sleep aid varies per individual, but is based on lengthy scientific sleep studies. Hearing is the last sense to switch off as humans fall asleep and is the most likely cause of sleep disturbances. White noise essentially overloads that sense and masks noises that might otherwise wake an individual.
White noise is a sound containing all the frequencies that are audible to the human ear in equal amounts. It is often used as a masking or background noise to help improve focus, aid in relaxation or sleep, and reduce distractions. White noise is often generated electronically and is continuous and steady.
White noise can be used to disorient individuals prior to interrogation and may be used as part of sensory deprivation techniques. White noise machines are sold as privacy enhancers and sleep aids and to mask tinnitus. White noise CDs, when used with headphones, can aid concentration by masking irritating or distracting noises in a person's environment. In open plan offices, large corporations such as ExxonMobil apply white noise to reduce the reach of speech, thus, by preventing office staff from being distracted by conversations in the background, safeguarding productivity.
White noise machines to aid with sleeping and relaxation can be purchased at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon and specialty stores such as Simply Noise and Sharper Image.

Studies have shown that lullabies can be effective in helping individuals fall asleep faster and achieve a more restful night's sleep. The soothing music and repetitive melodies can help relax the mind and body, promoting a sense of calmness and aiding in the transition to sleep.
Yes. Kirkland is considered the most effective of the over-the-counter sleep aids. I haven't seen it at local drugstores, but Costco probably has it. If not google "Kirkland sleep aid" and you will find many places that sell it, including Amazon.
only able to provide anecdotal evidence but having sex is the most reliable sleep aid. little or no side effects with reliable contraception.
Yes, it completely relaxes you and makes you drowsy and does make you sleep for a really long time... however, you end up being relaxed and drowsy the whole next day also. They say to take just one pill for it to be most effective, the more you take the less effective. I believe it is around 20-30 mg.
