Benefits
Do not listen while driving or operating machinery. Not a medical treatment. If you have epilepsy, consult your doctor before use.
How to Use
Get into bed with headphones. Start the session and close your eyes. Breathe normally — don't try to control anything. The tones will guide your brain down from calm alpha to sleepy delta in about 15 minutes.
How It Works
Racing thoughts at bedtime happen when your brain stays in beta (active thinking) instead of descending into slower rhythms. This session uses binaural beats to create a gentle alpha-to-delta gradient — the same brainwave shift that happens naturally when you start to doze off. Your brain entrains to the gradually slowing frequencies, which helps quiet the default mode network responsible for rumination. It's not a sedative — it provides the auditory scaffolding your brain needs to make the transition it already wants to make.
Frequency Guide
A quicker descent than Deep Sleep: alpha (9 Hz) to theta (5 Hz) to low theta (3.5 Hz) to delta (2 Hz). Designed for people who just need help dropping off rather than a full sleep architecture session.
Science & Research
Sleep onset is characterised by a transition from alpha through theta into delta. Research on binaural beats for insomnia shows the theta-to-delta transition can reduce sleep onset latency by quieting the default mode network.
