Bought this for my husband actually because he had so much trouble falling asleep and sleeping through the night. He's a military vet who served in Vietnam so the cricket sounds to him meant he could sleep soundly (-- when crickets stopped making sounds in Vietnam, an ambush usually ensued so he correlates his level of sleep to natural sounds he relied on in the jungle. He served 2 tours in 25th Inf) -- and even tho it's been decades since, this really helps. I love it for the ocean sounds and the rain sounds. Once I shut my eyes, I could be anywhere - at an oceanfront home or sleeping with my window open in a soft rain (even though it could be January!) I also like the soft sounds of thunder in the distance. I used to have to rely on Ambien or some other OTC sleep aid but not since getting this sound machine. Only issue I have is once you hit snooze, you get no sounds whatsoever -- I guess it's smart enough to not try to lull you back into a deep sleep. Also, snooze alarm will flash the time onto the ceiling. I have to throw a towel over the face of the clock becuase it's so bright and I need total darkness to sleep -- the face lighting isn't adjustable enough for me. Would definitely buy again -- even bought one for my son who had trouble sleeping while in college and he loves the ocean sounds to sleep soundly by now.
