The Sleep Better Company
The Sleep Better Company: a sleepy fox on a cloud under a crescent moon, with Rain, Fire, Waves and Rest

Ten quiet hours of rain, fire and waves, so you can finally sleep.

Real recorded sounds, cleaned up and blended so they never loop or jolt you awake. Every video lasts the whole night, and our fox is always already asleep.

How it's made

Made carefully, so nothing wakes you

Most sleep videos are a short clip on repeat. You can hear the seam every few minutes. Ours are built differently.

  1. Real recordings

    Every sound starts as a real recording: rain on a tin roof, surf on the sand, a fire in a stove.

  2. Cleaned by ear

    We take out the electrical hum, distant cars, voices and thumps that would pull you out of sleep.

  3. Never on repeat

    The recording is shuffled in soft, overlapping pieces, so the same moment never comes around twice in ten hours.

  4. Drawn by hand

    Each episode gets its own cozy scene, gently animated and kept dark so it's easy to leave on.

Meet the fox

Our fox has never once been awake on camera.

You'll find the fox in every episode, curled up somewhere warm: on a quilt while the fan hums, on a porch while the waves roll in, in a tent while rain drums on the canvas. Always asleep, always comfortable.

The idea is simple. If the fox can sleep through it, so can you.

How to fall asleep with it

  1. Pick tonight's soundRain for most nights, fire when it's cold, brown noise or the fan when the house is loud.
  2. Turn it down lowJust loud enough to cover the noise around you. Lower is better for a whole night.
  3. Dim the screen and turn the phone overThe scenes are made dark on purpose, so they're easy to leave running.
  4. Let it runTen hours means it won't stop halfway through the night and wake you.

Questions

Why are the videos ten hours long?

So the sound covers a full night. A shorter video ends at 3 a.m., the room goes quiet and the silence wakes you.

Will an ad wake me up?

We turn off ads in the middle of our videos. YouTube may still show one at the very start, before you fall asleep.

Does it loop?

No. The sound is shuffled in overlapping pieces, so there's no repeating pattern for your ear to catch.

Can I use it for studying or my baby's nap?

Yes. Many people use these for focus, reading and naps. For little ones, keep the volume low and the device away from the crib.

Which one should I start with?

Try the "What's keeping you up tonight?" picker above. If you're not sure, rain on a tin roof is a favorite.
