Meet Sleep Sheep. He's single, willing to mingle, and a Sagittarius. We got him when our son was a baby. It put dad to sleep way before baby. I still use him sometimes. We gave one to my father in law years ago and he still uses it in his 80s.

I've been using this since 2006. I've taken it on some of my travels too.
Sounds like a fan that you can tweak the tone and speed a little. (It actually is just a fan in a case)

I second @MikeB. I've been using this for years and feel lost without it. The fact it's mechanical makes all of the difference in the world. I take it when traveling, but when I've forgotten on occasion the Sleep Machine app for iOS has a really good "Air Conditioner (Hotel)" sound that, like the name suggests, sounds like a noisy AC, haha.

One other hack that has really helped my sleep.

5-15 minutes of outdoors exposure to low angle sunlight first thing in the morning.

Really nice way to wake yourself up. Also is a powerful regulator of your circadian clock for falling asleep 14-16 hours later.

Do any of you have opinions on devices to improve sleep quality that you care to share?

I usually pick up my pillow, fluff it about a bit, poise it right above her face, and think...."Maybe next time."

Just like she does.
