I know there’s apps and stand alone devices I’ve seen advertised. Any experienced users with recommendations? Need something to keep my mind from thinking (work, next project, house chores, fishing, work schedule, etc..). Or any other recommendations?
TIA

Soothing sleep sound app comes in handy for me when I’m out of town. We sleep with a while nose machine at home.
We have slept with a fan blowing for noise forever. Been through several of them. Even have a travel fan.
I have a small combination heater/fan I keep by the side of the bed with the fan on. I don't use the heater and it's not blowing on me.
We sleep with a stand alone noise machine that we take with us everywhere we go - otherwise, no sleep. It plays a variety of sounds, but we keep it on “box fan” each night. Got it on Amazon - very inexpensive. Way less than the alcoholism I was developing in order to sleep.

Noisy fan works for me.
We sleep at home and on the road with a stand alone device set on White Noise. Works really well. On trips we even carry a spare.

Hi Tim,
Thank you, nice hearing from you, hope to see you in spring on chain!
Thank you all. We do the fan thing but it’s not working well for me. Will try these.

My wife has this covered. She used a fan turned up to HURRICANE!

Me too..
I just tell Alexa play white noise.
When my granddaughters were little, we had a noise machine at the house to help them sleep. Now, my wife uses it to drowned out my snoring. We have it set on the babbling brook sound.

I have my own built in sleep noise…tinnitus-white noise all the time.
A long time ago, I figured out if I planned things for the next day, it helped me turn off my brain and get to sleep. Two minutes and a notepad. Maybe a couple of thoughts about a problem I was having at work or a task I needed to get done early. Ideas to check on or checklist items for a home project. Prioritized list of chores.
Seems like gathering my thoughts and doing some tentative planning for the next day helped my brain shut down for the night.
YMMV
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
I just stay up, and busy… until I get sleepy. I did notice I fall asleep fairly quickly when I start saying prayers (not sure if that’s good or bad - I’m the guy that falls asleep in church).
We have whole house air, but I have used a window air conditioner in the bedroom. Works great
A bout of COVID unfortunately left my wife with tinnitus in both ears, which made it difficult for her to fall and stay asleep. We bought a HoMedics White Noise machine from Amazon. It has not only helped her fall asleep and stay asleep but I found that it helps me stay asleep as well. It has 3 different sound choices and a variable volume. Highly recommend.

I'm going dead opposite of what's recommended. I want dead silence, plus a dark room. I don't want anything to stimulate my brain. I turn off everything, close the door, close the mini blinds and pull the curtains.
