Questions

What is Sleep Anchor?

Sleep Anchor is slow ambient music, rain and brown noise for bedtime listening, run by Brent Burgess in California. You can listen free as a podcast or on YouTube, or subscribe to Sleep Anchor Deep in Apple Podcasts for full-night versions.

Is Sleep Anchor free?

Yes. The podcasts and the YouTube sessions are free and have no ads. Only Sleep Anchor Deep, the full-night 8-hour and 10-hour versions, is paid: 7-day free trial for new subscribers, then $4.99 a month, or $39.99 a year.

How long is each episode?

Deep Sleep Music episodes run about 1 hour and 432 Hz episodes about 90 minutes. The YouTube sessions are 2 hours. Sleep Anchor Deep has 8-hour and 10-hour versions that play all night.

Will it keep playing when my phone screen is locked?

The podcasts will. Any podcast app keeps playing with the screen locked, and most can queue the next episode. The free YouTube app usually pauses when the screen locks unless you have YouTube Premium.

Are there ads or talking?

No. The music shows have no ads and no talking over the music. Circadian Anchor is the exception: it's a short spoken show about sleep research.

Can I listen on Android or Spotify?

On Android, use any podcast app: search for the show by name or add its RSS feed. Spotify doesn't carry music-only podcasts, but the tracks are on Spotify as music. Sleep Anchor Deep is only in Apple Podcasts.

What is the 432 Hz binaural tone?

Every Sleep Anchor track has an added 432 Hz binaural tone, and the 432 Hz show is named for it. Binaural tones work best with headphones. Some listeners like it. There's no reliable scientific evidence that any particular frequency has health effects, and we don't claim any.
