We admit, the Dohm isn’t the prettiest white noise machine on the market, but it is one of the oldest and best. Two-speed options allow for adjustable tone and volume. Plus, each machine comes with a 101 night trial — return it for free if it’s not helping you sleep.

Some evidence show that blue light (the light that emits from your TV, laptop, and phone) can disrupt the brain’s sleep patterns. This might make it harder to fall asleep. One way to possibly prevent it? Put on a pair of blue light blocking glasses (they fit over regular glasses) to protect your eyes. These claims aren’t regulated by the FDA, since the glasses aren’t a medical device. The only way to really find out if they work for you, is to try them yourself and see if you sleep better.

Melatonin has been shown to induce drowsiness and regulate the body’s internal clock to sleep better. Users have reported that taking 1 mg of melatonin before bed helps them fall asleep easier. Like all supplements, these claims haven’t been supported by the FDA, and users should consult a doctor before taking.
