Silence and repetitive noises may seem like quite the opposite, but they actually have a lot more in common than you might realize. Both the irritating noises and the gaping silence can hinder you from sleeping comfortably, especially in the early stages of sleep. Using a sleep machine, or sound conditioner, is one of the most effective ways to get to sleep quickly and sleep soundly through the whole night. One of the top models of sound conditioners available is the Sound Oasis Sound Conditioner S-550-04. On the surface, it may appear to just be one of your typical nice-looking sound machines, but it actually has a lot of features that you may not expect. The best part is that with all the additional features on this unit, you may still end up paying less than you would for another conventional model of sleep machine available in stores.

First of all, this Sound Oasis unit has something that no typical sleep machine can boast about – cutting edge sound card technology. As you know, most sound conditioners come with several sounds built in (and this one is no exception, with six high quality sounds available to start - but we will get to that later). However, you can do even more with this Sound Oasis model. You can also insert a card that contains up to six additional sounds! This means that even if none of the pre-installed sounds are working for you for some reason, you can still easily access unlimited variety for your sleeping environment without having to buy another sound conditioner.

As mentioned earlier, this unit does have pre-installed sounds to choose from as well. They are extremely high quality and are very vivid, perfect for calming an anxious mind. You can select the calming sound of the ocean, the peace of a mountain stream, the comfort of a gentle rain, the warming sensation of white noise, the freedom and carefree sensations of a summer night, or the dreamy and soothing wind. This is, of course, in addition to the many other sounds available through the innovative sound card technology.

There are plenty of other great features on this unit as well. The Sound Oasis Sound Conditioner S-550-04 also has a built in timer functionality that is really useful if you are using the sound effects throughout the night. You can choose to run the sound continuously, or limit it to thirty-minute increments, after which it will turn off automatically. It turns off gently and smoothly – something that is extremely important if you are going to be asleep while it turns off. Otherwise, the sudden lack of sound could wake you up, a problem that is all too common in typical sound conditioners.

If you are not impressed by your current sound conditioner, or if you don’t have one at all, you should consider purchasing this unit by Sound Oasis. The increased quality in sleep as well as the quality of the unit itself is sure to impress you the first night that you use it. Better sleep is only one purchase away, and it’s not very expensive, either!

The environment you live and work in on a daily basis is extremely important to the health of your mind. Most people can't afford to give their room a makeover, and that's understandable. Luckily, there are much cheaper ways to give your living or working space a makeover of atmosphere without spending much money at all. What many people overlook about a room's environment is the role that sound plays in the aura of the room. A dead silent room, or one with intermittent noises, may be a bit more wearing on the brain, depending on the level of concentration that is required. Sound conditioners have long been used to help people fall asleep and increase quality of sleep. However, these are not the only reasons to use a sound conditioner system such as the one produced by Sound Oasis.

If you're up at the office and you're stressed out, unable to concentrate on anything that you need to be working on, a sound conditioner may be able to help you a lot more than you'd imagine. The small noises that an office is filled with often are only noticed by your subconscious, but truly do have an effect on how you feel and how well you are able to concentrate. By using the Sound Oasis S-550-04, you are able to block out unwanted sounds, or fill in the booming silence. This can help relieve stress and reduce the effects of a headache. Even if you aren't feeling stressed out and your head feels fine, using a product such as this will make concentrating seem much easier.

If you want to get the most out of your sound conditioner, it's important that you purchase a model that has the features you want and the quality of sound that you need in order to truly help your mind. The mind is a delicate thing - not just any sound pattern is going to help it. The Sound Oasis has high quality speakers that transmit all ranges of the sound very well. Additionally, the timer function is set so that whenever time runs out, the sound fades away gradually rather than a drastic cutoff in sound; a drastic reduction in sound environment can be just as startling as a drastic increase of noise. When it comes to the selection of sounds to choose from, this unit may seem to be just barely above average, with six sound environments built in. This isn't the case, though - there is a memory card slot which allows you to insert new sounds whenever you'd like. Unlike other sound conditioner systems on the market, your choice of environments with this Sound Oasis model is nearly limitless!

Whether you are someone who needs help falling asleep and staying asleep, or you are someone who has a stressful office environment, a high quality sound conditioner like the Sound Oasis is sure to help you feel better and increase your overall quality of life. It's a small initial investment that will pay off big time in the long run.
