Why nature sounds help you sleep
- Natural sounds are linked with the body's relaxation response, helping the heart rate and mind slow down at bedtime.
- Gentle, unpredictable-but-soft detail keeps the ear lightly occupied so it stops scanning for threats.
- No melody or words to follow, so there's nothing for a busy brain to latch onto and analyse.
Take these sounds with you
Every sound here is free in the Sleep Sounds app, with a gentle sleep timer that fades the audio out and lets your phone rest too — no ads, no account.
