You already know your Kindle Fire can entertain and inform, but did you know it can help you get to sleep, too?
Sleepy Time is a white noise app that will play the background soundtrack of your choice (or mix of up to three at once!) to shut out external noise, help you relax, and make getting to sleep a little easier. This app is rated 4.5/5 stars across more than 160 reviews, and it’s priced at just $1.49—compared to what you can expect to pay for a white noise machine, that’s a pittance. From Amazon:
Sleepy Time offers a wide assortment of audio tracks specially designed to lead you gently into the arms of slumber. You can choose from various sounds including the beach, birds, crickets, and white noise. Once you’ve selected your favorites, download them onto your device and you’re 20 winks to 40.
