![]() ![]() I had no clue what it was and ignored it the first night, but after being woken up by a baby and dogs and the general chaos, I decided to give it a whirl the second night. I discovered the Yogasleep Dohm Uno the first weekend I spent in the guest bedroom at my brother’s house in New Jersey, where this little white contraption was placed on the bedside table. Turns out, the most basic white noise machine was exactly what I needed. The breathing techniques fail to get my mind out of the negative-thoughts loop that can happen at bedtime (Is that weird lump I felt the other day cancer? Will I ever find success and fulfillment in life?), but the rainforest sounds provide too much stimulation. Out of all of those potential solutions, none have hit the sleepy sweet spot - they’re either not distracting enough or too distracting for me to zone out to. I’ve tried breathing techniques, phone apps, Spotify playlists that are designed to lull you to sleep, and even those fancy sound machines that transport you to the rainforest. I’ve always had a hard time falling asleep, sometimes because I can’t turn my brain off and other times because I’m sensitive to light and sound and live in New York City, which has a lot of both. If your head hits the pillow and you’re out cold within minutes, I hate you. Also, all prices were accurate and items in stock at the time of publication.
