Tips for safe and effective listening while you sleep
- Keep volume low. Nighttime replay should be barely audibleenough for your subconscious, not so loud it disturbs sleep cycles.
- Prefer speakers or flat sleep headphones designed for overnight use. Avoid small in-ear earbuds that can cause ear irritation if used for hours.
- Use a sleep timer or create a long loop rather than keeping your device fully awake all night.
- Avoid affirmations with sudden changes in tone or loud sounds that could trigger wakefulness.
- Check licensing: if you download a track, confirm its permitted for personal use.
