Alexa has some serious skills in the bedroom.
You've tried counting sheep, taking the recommended dose of melatonin, and turning that box fan in the corner of your bedroom to the highest setting. But you still can't shut off your brain long enough to fall asleep. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—in fact, the CDC reports that as many as one out of three of us don't or can't sleep enough. The good news is that you probably already have a versatile sleep aid in your home.
Sleep Sounds even offers a premium membership that allows you to combine your favorite sounds so that, yes, you can drift off to the sound of a cat purring in a thunderstorm.2.

For example, "Alexa, it's bedtime," can trigger your smart lights to dim, your Nest to lower the house temperature, your bedroom Echo to play a relaxing playlist, and your smart locks to lock all the doors.7.
