Fan Noises For Sleep + Timer

The main reason we rely on a trusty fan to get a good night’s sleep is less about temperature and more about white noise. White noise essentially works to mask the difference between background sounds and “peak” sounds (such as an ambulance siren or a door slamming) to maintain more consistency in your environment.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, white noise can be a game changer for light sleepers, because it gives them a chance to sleep through the night. White noise creates a constant ambient sound that reduces disturbances such as a floorboard creaking or a dog barking, peak sounds that would be disruptive to an otherwise undisturbed slumber.
