The First Honeywell Fan Specifically Designed to Help Promote a More Restorative Night's Sleep

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you occasionally have trouble sleeping through the night, find it difficult to wind down after a stressful day, or suffer from insomnia, getting a restful night's sleep may be a challenge. Designed to help create an optimum sleep environment, the groundbreaking Honeywell DreamWeaver Sleep Fan empowers consumers to take back their sleepless nights with the right combination of sound and airflow. Forget white noise – the Honeywell DreamWeaver Sleep Fan uses pink noise, a sound frequency optimized for relaxation while providing sound blocking benefits that can help promote a deep, more restorative sleep. The product's patent-pending design maintains a constant pink noise sound and has a unique adjustable airflow shutter that can be left open for powerful cooling in warmer temperatures or closed on chilly nights – allowing the consumer to customize their sleep experience, no matter the season.

"After researching the most beneficial sounds to sleep with, we found that pink noise, while in the same family as white noise, provides a soothing sound, helping to create a relaxing environment for those who struggle with falling and staying asleep, allowing them the ability to take control and create a better sleep surrounding," said Brett Mikolajczyk, product engineer at Helen of Troy Health & Home. "Pink noise is a mix of high and low frequencies that sounds more balanced than white noise. Pink noise is used in the new Honeywell DreamWeaver Sleep Fan, providing a constant, soothing tone to help reduce outside distractions and put you back in control of your sleep environment."

Examples of pink noise in nature include falling rain or ocean waves. In recent studies, pink noise was found to improve the duration of deep sleep¹ – the more refreshing, restful stage of sleep – and adults who listened to pink noise overnight performed better on memory tests the next morning².

The Honeywell DreamWeaver Sleep Fan has a convenient auto shut-off timer that can be set to one, two or eight hours, customizable for a quick nap or all-night use. The thoughtfully designed control panel includes a touch-sensitive, easy tap area created with a sleepy consumer in mind. No need to turn on the lights, simply tap the top surface to power the fan on and change the 3 powerful speeds. Four light dimming settings are available for those that need a hint of light and there's an "off" selection to satisfy those that crave a dark sleep sanctuary. The fan also oscillates and pivots to let users choose the direction of airflow that is most comfortable. The compact design is easily portable and fits perfectly on a nightstand, dresser, desk or the floor, delivering soothing pink noise sound and cooling airflow where you need it.

Whether you have a nightly sleep battle or occasional sleep troubles, the new Honeywell DreamWeaver Sleep Fan is a bedside essential to help customize your sleep environment all year long. It is available for purchase at retailers nationwide, including Best Buy and CVS pharmacy stores, and online at Amazon.
