About this session
- Eases back to sleep
- Calms a busy mind
- Relaxes the body
This is a wordless binaural soundscape by Gabriel Loynaz, built around a slow 1.5Hz delta pulse. Two slightly different tones play in each ear, and together they create a gentle, rhythmic beat. There is nothing to follow or do. You simply lie back and let the sound fill the room.
It's made for the small hours, when your eyes open and sleep feels out of reach. It also works as a short reset after a stressful afternoon, or any time you want seven minutes of quiet. Headphones are needed for the binaural effect to come through.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does 1.5Hz mean in this track?
It describes the speed of the pulse you hear: about one and a half slow beats each second. That rate sits within the delta range, the slowest band of brainwave frequencies, which is why it's used for sleep-focused listening. The effect is a soft, steady throb rather than a melody.
Why do I need headphones for a binaural sound?
Binaural tones work by sending slightly different frequencies to each ear. The pulse comes from how the two combine, so speakers blur the effect. Use comfortable headphones at a low volume, and consider a soft headband style for lying in bed.
Why is this one meant for the middle of the night?
There are no words to hold your attention, and the pulse is slow and even, so it suits the moment when you're half awake and want to stay that way. You can press play without opening your eyes or thinking about anything.
Is there anything to do while it plays?
No. There's no voice, breathing count or visualization. Let your attention rest on the pulse, and if your mind wanders, let it. Nothing needs to be corrected.
Can I use it outside of bedtime?
Yes. Seven minutes is enough for a calm pause after a stressful afternoon. Since it's built for winding down, you may find it less suitable when you need to stay sharp.
