My housekeeper laughs at me because we have a fan sitting precariously in our bedroom. It is there to drown out noise from the busy highway that runs in front of our house. It is a pain to be a light sleeper. We should invest in one of those white noise machines from Dream Essentials. I checked the website and was pleasantly surprised how reasonably priced they are. The Sleepmate would certainly look better in our bedroom. Getting a good nights sleep can be the key to productivity during the day. I am going to recommend the Sleepmate to my neighbor who has a new baby. Having the Sleepmate would keep the noises from waking up the baby during nap time. I can think of quite a few people who would benefit from using a Sleepmate.
