    8. Tell Alexa to play the playlist and loop!

    When you want to go to sleep for the night, tell Alexa to play your playlist in a continuuous loop.

    "Alexa, play playlist Thunderstorm Sleep"

    Alexa should confirm it is going to play the playlist.

    "Alexa, loop."

    Alexa should confirm it is entering loop mode.

    To adjust the volume, you can say "Volume level" and then a number from 1 to 10. I like volume level 3 or 4 for sleep noises.
