Storm sounds on Alexa.......

[Bobbindobbin]

Has to be my new favourite thing, going to sleep listening to rain and rumbling thunder. Does anyone else do this?

Oh yes I like that in the background when I'm reading. Lovely!

'Distant Thunderstorms' is DH and I's bedtime jam. I often looked after my neice when she was very little and had to stay in with me- she had a Ewan, and the rain sounds were the main reason I got an Echo Dot in the bedroom as I loved the sleep sounds so much

DH also likes the Gregorian Monks chanting but it's a bit creepy I think!

I like “ambient sounds: ocean sounds”. It’s also great that it automatically switches off after an hour too.

It’s so relaxing and comforting

What do you say to her to get it turned off after an hour?

I’ve told Alexa to “loop-on” and it plays all night!

It's automatically an hour if you enable the "ambient sounds" skills, they have loads of different types like jungle noises, thunderstorms, wind, rain, forest sounds, etc. If you want them to play all night you tell it to "loop" or something.

Although for some reason the aforementioned monk chanting stayed on all night the one time we used it for sleep sounds- very unnerving waking up at 4am with the house sounding like you're in medieval France. Thought Joan of Arc going to pop up over the end of the bed.

Monk chants scare the shite out of me!!

I love listening to that storm sounds too.

Just say to Alexa ‘stop playing in one hour’ and she says ‘ok I’ll stop playing in an hour’

I must have this! What skills do I need to enable to make my Alexa do this ???

Alexa play storm sounds ........ that’s it. I ask her to play rain and thunder usually

I used to have a really good app that played storm sounds and it made me very sleepy. We are sort of thinking of getting a couple of Echo Dots so that feature would be great.

Just be aware that one day I was at home when there was an actual storm outside, and I nodded off.

We like the rain forest sleep sound. To set the timer,” Alexa set sleep timer for one hour” or however long you want it to play.
