How to use
- Pick Deep Focus Rain or Cafe Work to start a tight, non-distracting bed.
- Use the timer as a study block (30 or 60 min). Step away when the fade-out starts.
- If your textbook needs attention, reduce any rain-heavy layer — heavy rain can compete with slow reading.
- Save the mix for each subject so math sounds different from reading — switching scenes helps memory recall.
FAQ
Is music or noise better for studying?
For reading, writing, and problem-solving, broadband noise (pink, brown, rain) beats music with lyrics. The brain processes lyrics as language, which competes with the reading task.
How long should a study block be?
Most people do well with 25–50 min focused blocks and 5–10 min breaks. The sleep timer on this page works as a block timer — pick 30 min and start.
Will adding more layers help me focus?
Not always. Two or three layers cover most cases. More layers can become a mild distraction on their own — if a layer doesn't add masking, remove it.
Masking vs entertainment
Study sounds exist to mask ambient noise so your attention stays on the
task. They should fade into the background within 30–60 seconds of
starting — if you're still noticing the sound after a few minutes, it's
probably too loud or too melodic.
