How to make Android play relaxing sounds to help you sleep

Kilito Chan/Getty ImagesI cannot sleep without white noise. When I’m home, that noise comes by way of a Dyson fan. The constant and gentle hiss of that fan is the perfect soundscape to help those flights of angels sing me to my rest.
But when I travel (or nap beyond the bedroom), I don’t have that fan with me, and without that white noise, there’s no sleep to be had (not even till Brooklyn). What is there to do?

Well, if you happen to have an Android phone, there’s a built-in tool that is ready to give your sleep time a helping hand.

Let me show you how to use this handy feature.
How to access Sleep sounds RequirementsThe only thing you’ll need is an Android phone. The feature was added somewhere around Android 10, which most new (and new-ish) phones support. That’s it. Let’s get to it.
The Sleep sounds feature is located in the Android Clock app. Open that app from the App Drawer.
At the bottom right corner of the Clock app, you should see Bedtime. Tap that entry to open the Bedtime page.

You can select from one of the device sounds (Waves, Deep Space, and Contemplation), record your own sound, or even select music from either YouTube or Spotify. 
Once you’ve selected your sound, back out of the Sleep sounds window. 

It’s now time to select the sound you want to hear as you attempt to drift off to sleep.

After selecting the time frame, tap the play button and your selected sound will start playing to sing you to sleep.
