Neuro-acoustic sleep sounds
Quiet your mind. Drift off gently.
Slumber Wave listens to your restless nights, quiets the mental noise, and tunes the right soundscape for you, so you can unwind, fall asleep, and wake up rested.
A companion for your nights
Slumber Wave gets to know you (and your nights).
More personal than your pillow.
The app keeps learning what calms you and builds a sound profile around it, so what you hear at night feels made for your ears.
Smart Mixing
Let neuro-acoustics quiet your racing mind.
Sound layers blend automatically to help you relax and settle a busy mind.
Sleep timer
Let Auto-Fade handle your wind-down.
Set it once. The sound fades out as you drift off and your phone goes quiet, which saves battery and keeps your sleep undisturbed.
Make your nights more restful.
Layer rain, ocean, and white noise, set a fade timer, and let Slumber Wave carry you into calm, uninterrupted rest whenever you're ready.

What the research says
Built on peer-reviewed research.
Every sound in Slumber Wave earned its place in a published study before it earned a place in your night. Below is what sleep researchers found, in plain language and with citations.
White noise
In one study: 38% faster sleep onset
White noise is the reason so many people can't sleep without a fan. A steady wash of sound smooths over the small spikes in your night (a door, a passing car, a ticking radiator) that a half-asleep mind tends to treat as alarms. When researchers played this kind of even, broadband sound, participants fell asleep measurably faster. Your bedroom may be quieter than a lab, but the same idea applies.

Pink noise
In one study: 3× memory consolidation
Pink noise is white noise with the sharp edges sanded off: deeper, softer, closer to steady rain. In the Northwestern study, sleepers who heard gentle pulses of it overnight remembered about three times more of what they'd learned the day before. Research suggests the sound may support the quiet filing work your brain does while you sleep.

Nature sounds
In one study: lower heart rate and cortisol
Rain on the roof feels like permission to stop, and researchers have long wondered why. Across several studies, people who listened to nature sounds had lower heart rates and less cortisol (the body's main stress hormone) than people sitting in silence or city noise. Many people notice something the numbers miss: the night simply feels softer.
multiple studies
Guided meditation
In one study: 43.75 min less wake time
You know the 2 a.m. spiral: replaying today, rehearsing tomorrow. In Ong's trial, people with long-running sleep trouble practiced mindfulness meditation, and by the end of the study they spent far less of the night lying awake. A calm, steady voice may give a racing mind something gentler to hold on to.
