Ocean Waves & Tide Pools (No Birds For Sleep) | One Hour

Picture yourself lying on the beach as ocean waves crash and fill tide pools. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the sea pull away your anxiety. Focus on the sound of the ocean. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.

This version has no birds or sea lions for better sleep.

Why I made this soundscape:

I started waking up at 4:00 AM this last year. It wouldn’t happen every night. Usually only a few times a week. But the longer we were in quarantine the more I wondered if I would have a job. It wasn’t just that. I’d recently discovered I was middle-aged and the first signs of grey had begun appearing in my beard. I needed something to help me calm my mind, something to help me stop waking up in the middle of the night. A few years ago we had gone to visit my family in Monterey Bay. I remember going to this beach that was hidden away. Some of it was rocky and some was sand. The ocean would come in and fill up the tide pools. I remember sitting there thinking this is the most wonderful place. There’s no place I’d rather be.

This Ocean Waves Soundscape is a replica of that place. I hope by listening to it you find the happiness and calmness I felt there.
