Calming sounds to help you unwind

Pick the job

Glowsince has three mixes. Focus is steady and has no lyrics. Unwind is warm and slow for the evening. Sleep is soft piano with gentle waves. Choosing by the moment you are in makes it easier to settle.

Music or ambience?

Slow music is good company. Ambience, such as rain, waves, a stream, a forest, a fountain or wind, can soften background noise. Brown noise is a deeper, steady hum that some people prefer.

Many people like a quiet piece of music under a light layer of ambience. In Glowsince you can mix the two yourself.

Keep it low and steady

A good level is one you could talk over. Avoid anything with sudden changes, and keep the volume comfortable to protect your hearing.

Use the sleep timer

The Sleep mix fades out after 45 minutes, so it is not playing all night. If you wake up easily, try adjusting the timer or choosing a steadier ambience. There is more on building an easy evening in A better sleep routine.

Match my weather

If you like rain on a rainy day, this option follows the weather for you, so your sounds always fit the sky outside.

Pair it with a habit

Sound works well alongside something small. Try three minutes of breathing, then the Unwind mix, then three lines in your journal. Habits that follow each other become easier to keep.
