White noise is an amazing sleep inducer. Not only does it mask unwanted outside noises, creaking doors and barking dogs, but it also mimics the sound of the rushing fluids and shifting body weight that your baby heard in the womb. In one study, young babies were three times as likely to fall asleep while listening to white noise as those not exposed.

Our five-minute white noise clip has been carefully crafted to lull even the most ornery baby to sleep. Listen to the clip, and see if your eyelids don't start to droop. If it suits your taste, try downloading the clip onto your hard drive. You can play it directly from your computer, or copy it a bunch of times onto a blank CD. Then just stick your new disk into the player, hit repeat, and you're good to go.
