Do you ever travel some place and have problems falling asleep? I do. New environment, new bed, new sounds – all these elements contribute to delayed sleep for me. My boys too. Sometimes I’ll use a soothing sounds CD to rest. I was happy to try out Brookstone’s top-rated sound therapy machine, the Tranquil Moments, when I read that the sleep sounds in the machine are clinically proven to help you sleep better.
So…I’ve been using the travel size of Brookstone’s Tranquil Moments Alarm Clock Sound Therapy Machine nightly for the past 2 weeks and I gotta say I love it. And so do my boys. My 8 year-old hijacked it from my room on repeat occasions, proclaiming that he “needs” it now to fall asleep. Oh-kaayy. I asked him “what have you been doing for the past 8 years to go to sleep? No answer. He did say that he likes the “Ocean Surf” setting. My 4 year-old on the other hand has chronic I’m-gonna-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-and-dance issues. So far he seems to like the “Celestial” sound setting whereas my favorite is “Summer Night”.
Other features of the Tranquil Moments sound therapy machine include:
- a full function alarm clock with dual alarm settings
- a built-in calendar
- 30, 60, 90-minute auto shut-off
- Records and plays a 15-second voice memo
For every Tranquil Moments purchased from now until May 31,2012, Brookstone will donate $5 towards Save the Children’s Mom’s The Word! Campaign. Perfect for the traveling mom in your life.

This looks like a great gadget to try. Been having trouble sleeping lately and I have been looking for an alternative to having the TV on to help me.
couldn’t live without melatonin on sleepless nights.
John, I completely agree with you about the melatonin. I have to give it to my sons most nights. Love the stuff!
I sometimes takes Advil PM but most of the time nothing.
I generally toss and turn until I get up tired and go to work.
I usually go for a walk or do pushups until I wear myself out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
CONGRATULATIONS to KALA, our winner of the Tranquil Moments Sleep Therapy Machine!
I lost my manual, and would appreciate some help – how do I turn on the sleep timer. I’ve had this for several years, then we remodeled our bedroom and it got put away, and I forgot about it. I’ve now found it, and want to use that feature, but can’t figure it out. Thanks so much.
Hi Ann, I’m not sure – I have to find my manual when I get back home. I will send you an email when I find it. Hopefully I can help.
