My wife threw away her white noise generator after I started using a CPAP. It generates white noise on its own.

Meryl, I agree with Paul. Run the fan all year, and, if necessary, throw an extra blanket on the bed. I’ve had tinnitus for many years, and I live where it gets pretty cold. The fan helps a lot, regardless of the temperature.

Tom, that’s funny… I had a similar experience with my first “relaxation” CD. It had a rain track on, so I started playing it, and was falling asleep, when the thunderstom hit. The loud thunderstorm. Scared the crap out of me, woke me up, and could not, by any means, be said to be relaxing.

I tossed that one. Brookstone’s is a lot smarter. The thing I don’t get, though, is the windstorm. Why would anyone want to listen to wind?

Very interesting. I sleep with a fan on year round. The sound of it is what matters.

Beware those relaxation CD’s. We’ve got several, one of which is a summer evening – crickets, the breeze rustling in the trees, etc.

One night we put it on before bed. About half way through the disc, a coyote is heard howling in the distance.

Did I mention we have cats? Peanut heard that and grabbed hold of my leg in terror. And each time the coyote howled, she tightened her grip. Fortunately, that segment of the disc is only a few minutes long, and she relaxed afterward (before the pain in my leg got too severe).

Nice to know we’re loved as protectors…but we won’t be playing that disc again.
