Its nearly impossible for me to sleep with white noise machines. At first, I used my table fan as white noise, but then I started using a white noise on my iPad cuz it blocked most of the noises outside. Now I'm using a white noise machine as well. Basically 3 white noises to help me fall asleep. I tried to go without my iPad/the machine but I keep waking up, its not the REM sleep I get with sound machines.
How do I sleep normally with outside noises?
