10-hour dark-screen sleep sounds
Rain, snow, sea, sky and firelight, seen through a window at night. Every video keeps the screen dark and the sound steady, so it lasts the whole night without lighting up your room.
Distant lightning, live
The series
Each video is a full hour that never repeats, played ten times. The light in the window follows the sound, so what you see always matches what you hear.
Low EmbersNew
The little glass window of an old wood stove. Embers pulse slowly, a flame licks up now and then, and every pop you hear sends a spark drifting up.
Thunderstorm
Loud, steady rain on the glass. Lightning lights the window faintly, and the thunder rolls in a few seconds later.
Lighthouse
Waves build, break and wash up the sand. Far out on the headland, a lighthouse beam sweeps slowly through the haze.
Night Flight
A window seat above the clouds. Steady cabin hum, town lights through the gaps, and lightning flickering far away.
Snowed-In Cabin
Snow streaks past the glass with every gust while frost creeps across the panes, and a low fire glows on the frame.
How they're made
Most sleep videos are bright footage on an obvious loop. These are made differently.
The screen stays black around a single window. Light only appears when the scene calls for it, and it never gets bright enough to wake you.
Every hour is built so that no flash, wave or crackle repeats noticeably within it. The hour joins back onto itself with no gap or click.
Thunder arrives after its flash, foam washes up as each wave lands, the clouds bob outside the window when the plane hits a bump, the snow blows harder in every gust, and every pop in the stove sends up a spark.
flash → 2–9 s → thunder
Volume is held level for ten hours, loud enough to cover a snoring partner or the street outside, with no sudden cracks or chimes.
