I have always appreciated: Silence. Pure silence. Dark as possible. About 56F.

The kid has white noise and Alexa playing at volume 5-6 all night.

I prefer my neighbors Dodge Charger with no muffler. Nothing will scare the shit out of you at 1:00 in the morning like the rumble of a V8.
56F is cold as heck, what??
Perfect sleeping temperature. A bit chilly to wake up to, but pure delight for sleeping.
LOL, perfect for me would be 26C (around 79F).
Ideal temperature is said to be 65F (18C). Did you flip the numbers?
I have tinnitus :(
With tinnitus, the loudest thing can be silence.
...and a weighted blanket, like the Bearaby Tree Napper.
Can you set it on a timer?
That's one of the features I still have to add. I assume you mean like "after 45 minutes stop playing" or something like that, correct?
exactly. if it's just about helping your son fall asleep that should be plenty and not waste any unnecessary energy!
It's not just energy. There's been some research showing that people who sleep all night, every night with white noise suffer hearing loss.

I prefer to have my sleep sounds go off after a while for that reason

Good to know, will definitely look to add this in the next update!
