On the topic of white-noise machines:

There are headphones out there that are purpose-built to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

My favorites right now are SoundOFFs, which emit pink noise, no apps required.

I'm also going to experiment with the Ozlu Sleepbuds, which many are calling the unofficial Bose Sleepbuds III since Bose discontinued the second iteration of these buds and sold off much of the IP to this team.

Having an headphone on ears for 6-9 hours continuous- isn't that harmful for health?

It's fine as long as the earbud fits well. Comply foam or custom tips makes that easy. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sleeping-with-headphones

I've been sleeping with custom ear molds for five years prior to moving to noise machine earbuds. Hearing's fine as of earlier this year!
