The Marpac Sound Conditioner SleepMate 580A Sound Machine.

It provides white noise while you sleep and it is awesome. All the annoying things that wake you up are masked by the sound.
- Jared's sporadic snoring
- Jared waking up at 5:15 am every day
- Chirping Birds
- etc.
It is a little bit like crack. I am so addicted to this thing. I take it with me on every trip. I feel so alone and scared without it.
I expect to find this especially useful once I have kids. amen.
