Dreamegg Portable White Noise Machine, $12 (was $25) at Amazon
Don’t let its size fool you: this white noise machine packs as many or more features than much larger devices. Yes, it produces calming white noise to block out a noisy world when you’re trying to sleep, meditate, or just center yourself. However, it provides a total of 16 calming sounds, including ocean waves, rain, birds, and fans, so you can tailor your calming experience. It’s loud enough to block out noise, with up to 32 different levels, whether you’re in a busy home or hotel, or sleeping next to a snoring partner.
Not only does this impressive travel-size white noise machine fit in any backpack, but there’s a good chance it can fit in your pocket, too. Its 1,000 milliampere-hour battery ensures this device will run smoothly over multiple nights before you need to power it up again. You can even use it while it’s charging via a USB-C cable. It also couldn’t be more user-friendly, with four simple buttons on the device that adjust volume, let you cycle through sounds, or even set a timer to turn the device off.
“This tiny thing saved my sleep and my sanity,” one shopper said. “It’s about the size of an egg, but don’t let that fool you — it’s loud enough to block out toddler tantrums, snack negotiations, and whatever show is blaring from the next room. It’s tiny but mighty, the sleep saver I didn’t know I needed. If you’re even thinking about it, grab one. I might order a second just so my kids stop stealing mine.”
The Dreamegg Portable White Noise Machine retails for $25, but you can shop it at Amazon for only $12 for a limited time. At that price, you can buy one to use at home and keep one perpetually stashed in your travel case so you can get restful sleep no matter where you are.
