White Noise App and Sleep Sounds
What is a White Noise App?
A White Noise App provides Smart Phone users with sounds to fall asleep to. If you’re like me, and have trouble falling asleep and/or happen to be a very light sleeper, you are likely to agree with me that a White Noise App is the most useful and healthiest utility you ever owned for your iPhone, Droid, iPad or any other mobile device. It was by no accident that I discovered how useful it would be to download sleep sounds for my iPhone. While staying at a couple of Hotels this past summer and fall I noted how easily I could be woken up by the slightest noise. One Hotel I stayed at in New Mexico this fall had a particularly noisy room heater. The fan drowned out those subtle, but startling noises like doors closing down the hall, footsteps, running water, etc. I slept like a rock that night and then it dawned on me: I needed a white noise app for my iPhone! Finding sounds to fall sleep to at night would be the easiest thing in the world for my iPhone and stereo dock. I browsed the online Apple applications and found everything I needed and more. In fact, there are so many apps that provide sleep sounds that it would be impossible to try them all. Under the category of white noise app there are tons of things: Sleep Noises, Sleep Sounds, Relaxing Ocean Sounds, music for sleeping, rain storms. Thunder, oscillating fans, chimes, airplane travel, pet noises, birds, crickets, trains, car traffic, city sounds, beaches, waves, wind, waterfalls, vacuums; and on and on – there is even a white noise sound for your white noise app. You would be hard-pressed to name the number one sleep sounds application because they all have slightly different advantages. The good news is that there are many excellent white noise apps and you don’t need to pay much if any for them. Let me explain my experience with a few of the more highly rated ones from the Apple application Store.
In my search for the perfect pain analgesic I did some research on Max-Freeze vs BioFreeze and compared them to the highly rated Penetrex reviews on Amazon. Why? Last week I suffered another one of my, vintage, unnerving, wrenchingly painful neck cricks. I don’t know what it is about the holidays, especially the week in between Christmas and New Years, where some of the most painful maladies seem to occur to me; whether it’s a ruptured disc in the neck, gout or a strained lower back, I am always a little apprehensive from Christmas until the time leading up until New Years. Last year I escaped the holidays unscathed, but this year I wasn’t so lucky. At the onset of the neck pain and stiffness, I did the usual treatment of ice, alternating with brief periods of heat and Aleve Pain relievers. Nothing seemed to help the stiffness. By the 2nd day, I was looking for relief and started researching pain cream reviews. Biofreeze and Penextrex reviews consistently ranked very high on Amazon and other websites. Here is what they said:
You have probably noticed these Dumbell-looking exercise devices called Shake Weights near the check out stands of your local department stores. I became curious as to what they actually are supposed to do as opposed to your typical, boring set of 10lb, 20lb or 30lb dumbbells. Shake Weightsare basically dumbbells with a pulsating motor in them. The inertia of the motor inside the dumbbell is designed to give you better upper body strength and tone through the physics of Dynamic Inertia. That is what the makers of Shake Weights claim, anyway. The motor doesn’t actually run electronically. You activate by simply doing what the name of the product implies: shaking. Typically, the product package includes one shake weight dumbbell along with an exercise video and sells for about $20.00. That might not seem complicated, but like any popular fad, I’ve noticed a number of different sizes, colors and flavors; as well as a shake weights package for men and a shake weights package for women.
