Best sleep sounds app as far as I'm concerned. Green noise is always a great option as it is said to reduce anxiety and quiet a racing mind, add a little rain and lights out!

Once I created the soundtrack that I found relaxing, it only took a few nights of using it to find that I fell asleep more quickly. After several months, I have found that I'll start 'hearing' it as soon as I start my bedtime routine
