Terms of Service

Welcome to Sleep Optimization Spot. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About This Site

Sleep Optimization Spot is written by Nora Ellison, a retired school nurse in Tampa, Florida, who treats good sleep the same way she treats walking and eating well: as everyday prevention. She tests sleep masks, white noise machines, blackout curtains, cooling sheets and sunrise alarm clocks in her own bedroom, one change at a time, and writes down what actually helped, what did not, and who each product suits.

Affiliate Disclosure

Sleep Optimization Spot is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link in our content and purchase a qualifying product, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Sleep and Safety

Nothing on this site is medical advice. Ongoing trouble falling or staying asleep, loud snoring with gasping or pauses in breathing, or daytime sleepiness that affects driving or work can be signs of a condition such as sleep apnea or insomnia. Talk with a doctor before relying on any product to manage them; a sound machine can mask snoring but it does not treat its cause.

Keep cords from sound machines and alarm clocks away from the pillow and out of reach of children and pets, and use only the power adapter that came with the device. Mount curtain rods into studs or proper anchors, and keep looped curtain cords and tiebacks out of the reach of young children, since cords are a strangulation hazard. Do not wear a sleep mask that presses on the eyes after eye surgery or with an eye infection, and stop using any mask, fabric or sheet that irritates your skin. Keep sound machine volume at a moderate level to protect your hearing over many nights.
