Music that lulls you into a comfortable sleep. Songs to listen to when going to bed.
Many people find it very calming to play soft, soothing music and close their eyes when they go to sleep, right?
I do that sometimes too!
It’s perfect for a nap on a day off, but I’m sure there are also busy people who think, “I can’t seem to get much time to rest…” or “I want something to heal my tired body after work…”
Those are exactly the people I’d love to recommend this to.
I’ve picked out some gentle, sleep-inducing tracks.
Since a variety of people will be reading this, I intentionally chose songs from different genres.

Anpanman music box
When a baby has trouble falling asleep, it’s really tough for parents.
At times like that, having music that helps them drift off would make such a difference.
This is “Anpanman Music Box: Puts Your Baby to Sleep in 5 Minutes.” Maybe the high frequencies of the music box affect the human body.
There’s also a subtle sound in the background that’s like a flowing river.
Healing Music 1 ~Nature Sounds for Deep Sleep and Relaxation~
The singing bowl is a sacred ritual instrument passed down in Nepalese Buddhism and Tibetan Vajrayana.
Its overtones contain what’s known as “1/f fluctuation,” which is said to guide our brainwaves from beta, associated with wakefulness, to alpha, associated with a calm state.
It is also said to open the seven chakras in the human body.
I encourage you to experience this sound for yourself.
Famous J-POP Medley [Music Box]

This is the “Masterpiece J-POP Music Box Medley.” It’s a collection where many familiar J-POP classics can be enjoyed as soothing music box pieces—twice the delight in one.
Music boxes are said to contain ultrasonic frequencies above 20 kHz that humans can’t perceive as sound, and these are believed to have calming effects such as promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and boosting immunity.

If I were getting a massage and this music was playing, I feel like I’d actually be asleep in under two minutes.
It seems to contain something in the fluctuations, pitch, and length of the sounds that helps you relax.
Give it a try the next time you can’t sleep.
sleep music
For those who are truly exhausted and want a deep sleep.
The plaintive, Asian-evoking melody and the lonely sound of the flute will take you into a world of your own.
It’s also great for pre-bedtime yoga, stretching, and relaxation.
Selected Ambient Works 85-92Aphex Twin
An ambient track by the Cornish genius Aphex Twin from the UK.
It might feel like you can’t sleep because it has a beat, but the repeating rhythms and the abstract, beautiful synthesizers will carry you into a dream world.
sleep durationBUMP OF CHICKEN
Here’s a song I recommend for sleepless nights or when anxiety creeps in: “Suimin Jikan” (“Sleep Time”).
It’s a track included as the B-side to BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 2004 single “Only Lonely Glory.” The gentle sound of the acoustic guitar and the simplicity of Fujiwara’s vocals slip right into your ears.
In fact, the song was reportedly written for Fujiwara’s grandfather, who said he didn’t understand the band’s music, born from the desire to “deliver something easy to understand.” Much of BUMP’s music stays close to the heart, and its kindness really sinks in.
When you want to clear your head and not overthink before bed, this song is a perfect fit.
