Sleep sounds: ready-made mixes for the night

Each of these fifteen sleep mixes combines several sounds from the library into a calm night scene that loads in a single click. Rainy Night and Stormy Night bring weather to the window; Ocean Sleep and Tropical Beach Sleep let slow waves do the work; Cabin in the Woods, Lake Cabin Sleep and Mountain Cabin Sleep wrap you in a hideaway far from town. There is also Baby Sleep for the nursery, Snore Masker for sharing a room with a snorer, Cat by My Side with a purring companion, and Underwater Dream for something more unusual.

Sleep sounds give the ear something soft and predictable to rest on, so a creaking floor or a car outside is less likely to stand out. Many people like playing the same mix every night as a small bedtime ritual.

Open a mix and fine-tune it before you lie down: turn down any layer that pulls your attention, nudge the steady base up, and set the sleep timer to 30, 60 or 90 minutes. The fade-out is gradual, so the sound ends softly instead of cutting off.
