Let the day settle.

An evening space inside AuraFlow

Sleep is one of six connected modes in AuraFlow. Where Focus gives work a dedicated space, Sleep gives you a place to choose the sound of your evening. You can explore music and soundscapes, adjust the mix, and decide how the session fits into your routine.

You do not need a wearable to begin. Optional activity and recovery connections can add context elsewhere in the AuraFlow experience; availability depends on the device, platform, and service you connect.

Start with a simple routine

1. Open Sleep when you are ready to wind down and choose a soundscape or music you enjoy.
2. Adjust the volume and optional sound layers before settling in, so the mix is comfortable for you.
3. Review the available session settings and choose the length or playback behavior that suits your evening.
4. Return to the settings on another evening and refine what you prefer. You can keep the routine simple rather than changing every option each night.

Build a wind-down mix before settling in

Try a short listening session while you are still awake. Choose a soundscape, start playback, and adjust the volume before putting the device aside. This gives you time to decide whether a continuous background or a changing piece of music fits your preference.

Where available, the Deep Sleep panel includes a Pink Noise control and its own volume setting. Start with the main sound first, then add that layer if you prefer the mix. You do not need to turn on every option or connect a wearable to begin.

If you move from a spoken Meditation session into Sleep, stop the guidance you have finished before building the next mix. Then check what is playing. This helps you distinguish the voice, the main soundtrack and any optional background layers.

If playback is not what you expected

Check the playback control, media volume and selected output device first. A connected speaker or pair of headphones can receive audio while the phone itself appears silent. If multiple layers are active, adjust them separately to find the source you want to change.

For a first session, stay with the app long enough to check that the mix and available playback settings behave as expected on your device. Supported background playback and downloads vary by platform and content. Choose a session based on your preferences rather than expecting a guaranteed sleep result.

Choose by preference

Some people prefer a continuous ambient background; others want music with more movement. Use the available choices to explore your own preferences. A sound that works for one person may feel distracting to another.

If you already use Meditation, you can make a guided session or a moment of breathwork part of the transition into your evening. The modes offer different starting points within the same app; you decide which combination fits your day.

What the app does and does not claim

This is a wellness listening experience. AuraFlow does not promise that a specific frequency will make you fall asleep, induce a particular sleep stage, or treat a sleep condition. The app's audio settings are choices for your routine, not a clinical measurement of your sleep.
