I keep a night light plugged in in the master bath (sink area) off the
bedroom. Don't need more light than that. I run the fan year round.
And I have the sound machine. I've been using one for years.

Those sound machines can run on batteries or electric current. One time
when I went on a trip I packed it in my checked suitcase. When I
arrived at the hotel and unpacked my bag there were stickers notifying
me the bag had been searched. I started laughing. I can only imagine
what they must have thought it was when they saw it on the x-ray machine.
