I’ve now sorted this (hello, decaf coffee) but it is definitely worth trying if you’re going through something similar. Anecdotally, I had a few issues with getting off to sleep back in 2015 (too much caffeine), and binaural beats helped me no-end is this regard.


People – myself included – use binaural beats to aid meditation sessions or, if you just need 30 minutes to yourself, to help clear your head prior to a big meeting or an event you’re nervous about. What do binaural beats do then? Essentially, the binaural beat is changing your brain waves, reducing them from an active state (gamma waves) down to a more relaxed state (Delta and Theta waves) which are associated with deep meditation, dreamless sleep, and relaxation. You don’t need to understand how it all works, brain science is pretty complex, just know that it does – and there are plenty of studies to back this up. The part of your brain that processes sound (it’s called the olivary complex FYI) is basically hoodwinked by the differing frequencies of the sound and the byproduct of this is the binaural beat that is produced. For instance, say you’ve goy 250 Hz in one ear and 240 Hz in the other, the beat would come from the 10 Hz discrepancy between the two. The rate – pulse of the beat – depends on the difference between the frequencies being played in your ears.

Two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, via headphones, and the ever-so-slight difference between the two frequencies creates the illusion of a beat.
