I purchase this clock with the intention of use the soothing sound to fall asleep too . but now that I have this clock there be so many other feature I love about it . good : - two alarm setting that you never have to touch ! simply set you day and a time and the alarm set itself every night . no worry about forget to set it the next day . - soothing sound be nice to fall asleep to - Projection clock be really nice . I think I would never use it , but i project the time on the wall , super nice ! - flashlight have a automatic feature that turn on if the power go out - self setting time , no need to program it bad : - very bright . it do have a dimmer , but it be not even close to dim . so if you be sensitive to light , be warn . I just turn my clock away and use the projection on the wall - I only like one of the four soothing sound , so it be not really bad , but I have higher expectation overall I really like this clock !
