sleepcast
A sleepcast is a type of audio content designed to aid listeners in falling asleep. Typically, sleepcasts consist of a gentle, soothing narrative or a continuous stream of ambient sounds. The content is often spoken in a calm, monotonous voice, and the pacing is deliberately slow to encourage relaxation. Common themes include nature sounds, white noise, storytelling, or guided meditations focused on sleep. The goal of a sleepcast is to distract the mind from racing thoughts and promote a state of tranquility conducive to sleep. Many sleepcast platforms are available as mobile applications or through streaming services, offering a variety of options to suit individual preferences. The effectiveness of sleepcasts can vary from person to person, with some finding them highly beneficial while others may not respond to the audio stimulation. They are generally considered a form of audio therapy or a supplementary tool for sleep hygiene.
