Layered nature sound gives you something calm to focus on at bedtime. Put on headphones and listen at a comfortable volume, with no instructions to follow.
A Cochrane review of 1,007 adults with insomnia found that listening for 25 to 60 minutes a day improved their sleep quality.

Questions
Before you start
How is this different from white noise?
White noise masks sound. Beginning's journeys and sessions are composed 3D soundscapes from real nature, layered with binaural beats. They give a busy mind something to follow, not just something to hide behind.
Can I fall asleep with headphones on?
Many listeners do. Soft earbuds or a sleep headband work well. You can also play a session from your phone by the bed: the 3D depth needs headphones, but the calm doesn't disappear without them.
What if I wake up in the night?
Keep a Sleep Sounds session within reach and press play again. The same sound that helped you drift off at bedtime is there at 3 a.m.
Is it a treatment for insomnia?
No. Beginning is a relaxation app, not a medical treatment. If poor sleep goes on for weeks or affects your days, please talk to a doctor.
Where better days begin
Tonight, sleep. Tomorrow, rise and shine.
Fifteen nights on us. Headphones on, lights off, press play.
