About this session
- Eases back to sleep
- Quiets the mind
- Relaxes the body
- Softens night wakings
This is a sound with no voice and nothing to follow. It is a binaural track built around a 3Hz delta beat, a low, even pulse that sits under the sound. Headphones matter here, because each ear receives a slightly different tone and the beat forms between them. Sound healing practitioner Dj Taz Rashid made it.
It is made for the small hours, when your eyes open in the dark and your mind starts to stir. Keep it near the bed, put your headphones on, press play and close your eyes. It also works as a calm backdrop at bedtime, with nothing to do or hold onto.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does the 3Hz delta beat mean?
A binaural beat is created when your two ears hear slightly different tones, and your mind perceives the gap between them as a slow pulse. Here that pulse is set at 3Hz, in the delta range, which is the range people associate with deep rest. It is a gentle sound to rest into, not a promise of any particular result.
Why do I need headphones for this track?
The effect depends on each ear hearing its own tone. Through speakers the two tones blend in the room and the binaural pulse is lost. Keep the volume low and comfortable, since the sound is meant to sit softly in the background of the dark.
Is there anything I should do while it plays?
No. There is no voice, no breathing pattern and no visualization. Lie comfortably, close your eyes and let the sound play. If your thoughts wander, you don't need to correct them.
Why is it recommended for the middle of the night?
With no voice, the track won't wake you up further with words or instructions. That makes it a low-effort thing to reach for in the dark, when you only want to drift back down. Leave your headphones and device within reach so you barely have to move.
How is this different from a guided sleep meditation?
A guided sleep meditation talks you through relaxing, breathing or imagining a scene. This track offers only the steady tones, so there is nothing to follow or fall behind on. It suits you if voices feel like too much at 3 a.m.
