How long should sleep sounds play?

If you want the sound to stay with you until morning, choose a recording of at least 8 hours. Shorter tracks stop or loop during the night, and the sudden change can wake you up. If you only need help falling asleep, 1–2 hours is enough — most people fall asleep in 20–30 minutes. Below are our long recordings (8 hours and more), each one continuous, without loops or music.

Questions

Is it OK to play nature sounds all night?

Yes, at a low volume. Keep it quiet — just loud enough to cover small noises — and pick a long recording so it does not stop in the middle of the night.

Why do loops matter?

A looped track repeats the same short piece. The jump at the end of each loop can be noticeable. A continuous recording does not have that jump.

Can I use a sleep timer instead?

Yes. If you only need help falling asleep, set a timer for 30–60 minutes.
