A number followed by the letter " h" in the file name indicates approximately how many hours long the audio file is (for example, 10h = approximately 10 hours long.) When multiple files of the same type of sound appear here, they are numbered in order to distinguish them from each other (for example: Rain 1, Rain 2, Rain 3, etc.), and brief descriptions and distinguishing characteristics are also sometimes given in the file names of these items. Included in this collection are sounds such as rain, falls (a category which includes waterfalls, rivers, streams, etc.), thunderstorms, wind, waves/ocean, snowfall, electric fans, fire, cicadas (also known as locusts), crickets, frogs, and more. These songs aren't scientifically proven to aid sleep and they might not work for youīut we suggest you try them and let us know if you have any perfect sleeping songs we should try.This is a collection of long MP3 audio files of relaxing sounds ( white noise and nature sounds) that can be used for sleeping to, relaxing, meditating, reading to, drowning out or blocking out loud, unwanted noises from neighbors and your surrounding environment, blocking out your partner's snoring, and more. Obviously, sleeping is about as individual as experience as we can have. Some people just can't handle that ambient classical music: you deserve music to help you sleep too! Rather than just bombard you with a list of stunning modern classical pieces from handsome European composers (there are many, and they are good), we've also thrown some more straightforward rock and pop music in here as well. It might be harder to sleep than ever these days, at least we have a better soundtrack to help us get there.īelow are a range of calming songs that may help you drift off.

In recent years we've seen a proliferation of talented young composers bringing a modern indie sensibility to traditional classical or art music.


You owe yourself the very best chance at getting a good night's sleep.Ī 2008 study from Budapest's Semmelweis University showed that classical music can be an effective intervention in reducing sleeping problems. The frustration that comes with an inability to sleep is perhaps as bad as the weariness you feel the day after a rough night of tossing and turning. That it can be used to aid in achieving restful sleep should come as no surprise. Music makes our lives better in many ways. This playlist will help you get some rest when you need it most
