Several Alexa skills, such asShort Bedtime Story, will play you (or your kids) a story.
Some, such asMindful Meditation, will lead you through your choice of guided meditations.
Still others, likeSleep Sounds: White Noise, offer, you guessed it, white noise.
If bedtime music is more your thing, there aremany skillsfor that, too.
it’s possible for you to use Alexa to create your own sleeping sounds playlist.
While Amazon Prime Music is playing, say, Alexa, create a new playlist.
Alexa may ask you to differentiate between several similar skills.
Respond with the skill youre interested in.
Alexa may ask you some follow-up questions.
For example:
You:Alexa, play Sleep Sounds.
Alexa:Welcome to Sleep Sounds by Invoked Apps.
I can play many relaxing sound loops like Thunderstorms and Rain.
Or you might ask me for a list.
you might also tell me two sounds to play at the same time.
Which sound would you like?
Respond with your choices.
You:Ocean Waves.
Alexa:[Ocean Waves sound]
Enjoy your rest!
Alexa Routines
Another way to get your soothing sounds going is by using anAlexa Routine.
A Routine allows you to use your own command to tell Alexa what to do.
Here’s how to do this using the Amazon Alexa app.
bring up the Alexa app and tapMorefrom the bottom right.
TapCreate Routineto add a routine.
TapWhen this happens>Voice.
throw in in the phrase you want to use, then tapNext.
TapAdd action, and then tapMusic.
snag the station and source you want to play.
Optionally, tapTimerto set a timer.
This is called a sleep timer.
Say, Alexa, set a sleep timer for one hour.
Whatever is playing will stop after an hour.
If you want the sounds to stop before then, just say, Alexa, stop.
Just say, Alexa, loop this sound.
