[Sleep-Inducing BGM] Recommended sleep music for when you can’t fall asleep

Recently, it’s been said that prolonged smartphone use can lead to sleep disorders.

It’s understandable, since many people use their phones for work, but not being able to sleep is tough and can also lead to health problems.

So in this article, I’d like to introduce some sleep-inducing BGM.

I’ve gathered a lot of tracks—gently flowing music, natural sounds, and melodies that help calm the mind.

If you find it hard to fall asleep even after getting into bed, why not give these tracks a try?

[Sleep-Inducing BGM] Recommended Sleep Music for When You Can’t Fall Asleep (31–40)

Slow DanceSleepy Fish

This track fuses electronic and natural music, electric and acoustic elements.

It’s a number that blends synthesizers with handclaps.

Compared to the others, it has a slightly more lively feel, but listening to this before bed makes me think I might have better dreams than usual!

This is an excellent New Age ambient healing track by Steve Hillage, featuring soothing water sounds.

The harmony of synthesizers and electric piano is deeply relaxing.

Before you know it, you’ll be asleep.

Let me introduce a figure from contemporary music.

Steve Reich is an American composer who represents minimal music, creating works through minimal (repetitive) structures.

As you listen, you gradually start to feel sleepy.

It’s very delicate and beautiful, so within contemporary music, it’s something you can actually fall asleep to.

Chill OutThe KLF

Chill Out (Complete Mix) – The KLF

The KLF’s soothing album, aptly titled “Chill Out.” It’s a strangely atmospheric record that, from start to finish, makes you feel as if you’re on a distant trip abroad.

“Chill-out” refers to music popular in Europe for relaxing at a slow pace.

The sheep on the cover also makes it feel sleep-friendly, which is nice.

Dream #5 [Drifting Apart]charlie dreaming

If you were to add music to imagery in a dream—floating, gently swaying—wouldn’t it sound like this? A delay-drenched electric guitar and synthesizer.

This ensemble reaches our ears so pleasantly.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to with your eyes closed.

Chill electronic music is really deep, isn’t it? This track is also a DTM piece, featuring a cleverly crafted arrangement that makes extensive use of synthesizers.

The off-kilter rhythms feel pleasant, and I think one of the joys is following these quirky sounds with your ears.

A top mellow number for when you want to be soothed: “good night.” It’s a track from moumoon’s 2006 mini-album “Flowers,” by the music duo known for songs like “Sunshine Girl.” The uniquely warm atmosphere and the gentle, acoustic guitar–based melody blend beautifully with YUKA’s clear, translucent vocals—so comfortable to listen to.

Highly recommended as a bedtime song!
