Snooz (2/24)

As counter-intuitive as it seems, white noise helps people sleep. The soft whir drowns out other sounds and creates an audible cushion, turning any bedroom into a haven. Unlike digital-based machines and loops, Snooz features a real fan, creating a natural, comforting sound that never changes throughout the night. And, with the fan inside the sleek, modern-looking case, there’s no blowing cold air to disrupt sleep. 

Portable and stylish, Snooz has completely customizable levels, from a light purr to a throaty buzz. It even features a nursery setting. (Many sleep machines exceed safety standards for both babies and even adults, according to a study reported by the New York Times.) And, of course, there’s an app to control power, volume and scheduled shut-off times.
