What is Sleep Sounds for Amazon Alexa?

Sleep Sounds for Amazon Alexa is an Alexa skill developed to help people fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep. It plays soothing, ambient sounds like white noise, rain, ocean waves, crickets, wind chimes, and more through your Amazon Echo device.

The skill features a library of over 25 HD sleep sounds designed to block out distractions and quiet your mind before bedtime. You simply have to say "Alexa, open Sleep Sounds" to launch the skill. You can then ask Alexa to play thunderstorms, campfire, cat purring, and other relaxing soundscapes.

Sleep Sounds helps induce sleep in two ways. The first is through auditory masking. The gentle, low level sounds mask sudden noises like doors closing or cars driving by so you're not startled awake. Secondly, focusing on the calming sounds acts like a form of basic meditation by helping clear out stressful thoughts.

In testing, Sleep Sounds has helped a majority of users fall asleep over 30% faster on average. It's great for both adults and children struggling with sleep issues. The volume levels and playback lengths are also fully customizable to best match your sleep environment and preferences.

Many owners of Amazon Echo devices like Echo Dot enjoy using Sleep Sounds as an affordable, non-drug alternative to achieve faster sleep onset or to deal with insomnia. It offers similar benefits as white noise machines and other sleep sound systems at a fraction of the price.
