Whether you are three months old or thirty years old, getting and staying asleep at night can be tough. If you live in the city, you might get woken up by things like siren noises, loud neighbors, and backfiring cars. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere, you still have to deal with tractor noises during planting and harvest and animal noises in the middle of the night. Instead of suffering from noises like these, though, you can use a sound machine to mask the night's annoying noises so that you can fall asleep and stay asleep.Using some sort of sound machine to create white noise or even just turning on a box fan in the bedroom at night is an old way to drown out disruptive background noises and stay asleep. While these approaches can be somewhat effective, you can still hear particularly loud noises above the white noise. Your fan or quiet radio can drown out soft noises and far-away noises, but the sound of your neighbor's dog barking at three in the morning will jump out beyond that noise, waking you up or at least making your sleep less deep and restful.Luckily, new technology has created a great new sound machine that can automatically adjust to your surroundings. This type of machine uses adaptive sound technology and will self-adjust to mask most bothersome noises. These sound machines will play whatever type of white noise you find most soothing, whether it's natural night noises, running water, or just a fan-like noise. Instead of just feeding you noise, though, this sound machine will read the noises coming in from the surrounding area. If the noise around you grows louder, the machine will increase in volume to mask the new noises. The machine is built with a micorphone that is able to idenitfy the loudness of the bothersome sounds.Even though a sound machine can become pretty loud to drown out unexpected background noises, it still won't wake you up because it will be that same sound you've grown used to. If you're having trouble staying asleep even with your traditional white noise machine, one of these sound machines might be your perfect solution.If you decide to purchase a sound machine, it is recommended that you use your new machine consistently for a period of time. It takes a few days for your body to adjust to the new sound.
