Baby Sleep ADHD & Classical
✦  Free Android app · full 7-day trial · no card, no account

Quiet, dark, boring — and still wide awake.

Some children — including many with ADHD — just aren't soothed by lullabies or white noise. For them the standard advice is backwards: an under-aroused brain in a silent room does not settle, it goes hunting for something to do. This app plays real classical melodies — in the spirit of Mozart, Bach or Handel — softly layered with rain, waves, or your own recorded voice, under a gently breathing night light.

Main screen of the app — classical tracks on friendly animal tiles, sleep presets, a Same as last time button, and the sleep-timer ring counting down in the corner

You've rocked. You've shushed. You've hummed every lullaby you know. The white-noise app is on its third hour — and everyone in the house is still awake.

Some children don't need less to listen to.
They need something worth listening to.

A calmer bedtime, in three steps

Designed for tired parents,
one-handed, in the dark

01

Choose the music

27 classical tracks — in the spirit of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Chopin; actual melodies, not noise. Every track has its own friendly animal, so even little ones can pick their favorite.

02

The one sound only you have

Record your own voice — a few words, a song, whatever you'd say at the door — and your child hears you even from another room. Then layer in brown noise, rain, ocean waves, a heartbeat or a dozen more, each with its own volume slider. The music stays in front; every layer is only as loud as your child needs, because there is no universal setting.

Sound mixer — My voice / Recording sits right under the main music, above rain, white noise, pink noise and the other ambient layers, each with its own volume slider
03

Dim the world

A night light that slowly breathes in a color you choose while soft stars drift by. The sleep timer then fades everything out — long after the eyes have closed.

Tap a color to preview — set your own in the app

Press play — judge for yourself

Hear the difference

Short samples. The melody leads — even white noise only sits softly underneath, never instead of the music.

The melody
Layer underneath

Try a melody with rain underneath — that's the app's sound mixer, in one tap. In the app you set a separate volume for each layer.

Quietly capable

Everything a bedtime needs

27 classical tracks

Real melodies in the spirit of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Chopin — composed for sleep, not the concert hall.

Breathing night light

Soft pulsating colors with drifting stars, clouds and shapes.

Your voice, recorded

The most familiar sound in the world — you, always nearby.

16 ambient sounds

Rain, waves, wind, heartbeat, white, pink and brown noise — each with its own volume, all under the music.

Sleep timer + fade

Music dims gently to silence — no sudden stop, no waking up. A shrinking ring shows how much is left.

Works offline

No internet needed — reliable at night, on trips, anywhere.

Auto Start

Bedtime begins on schedule, even if the phone stays in a drawer.

Same as last time

One tap repeats last night exactly — track, mix, volume, timer. Also on the home-screen widget.

Volume lock

Locked against curious fingers — the level you set is the level that stays.

Why melodies work

The science of musical bedtime

↑ & ↓

The same noise, opposite results

In one study, white noise improved memory performance in children with attention difficulties — and worsened it in children without them.

35%

Faster sleep onset

In a 2017 study, toddlers fell asleep about a third faster when classical music played at bedtime.

60–80

Beats per minute

The tempo of a resting heartbeat — and of the slow movements this app is built around.

Why that first number matters here: a brain with lower dopamine activity sits below its own optimum, and outside sound nudges it back up — while a brain already at the optimum gets pushed past it. It is the cleanest explanation anyone has offered for why the advice that settles the neighbour's child keeps failing in your house.

And two honest notes: that research measured attention and memory, not sleep — it explains why your child reacts differently, it does not prove sound puts them to sleep. And classical music won't raise anyone's IQ; the famous "Mozart effect" is a myth. What the research does support is simpler and better: calmer evenings and faster falling asleep. This app is a sleep aid, not a therapy or a treatment for ADHD.

Before you ask

Questions parents ask

What if white noise doesn't work for my child?
That's exactly who this app is for. Some children tune out featureless noise but settle to real melodies — structure gives a restless mind something gentle to follow. Classical pieces at 60–80 BPM mirror a resting heartbeat. White noise vs classical, explained →
Is it safe to play music while my baby sleeps?
Yes, at a safe volume: keep it around 50 dB (a quiet conversation) and place the phone at least 2 meters / 7 feet from the crib. Use the sleep timer so music doesn't play all night. Our safe volume guide →
Should the music play all night?
It doesn't need to. Set the sleep timer with a gradual fade-out — the music dims so slowly your child won't notice it ending. If your child wakes at night, the widget restarts the whole session with one tap.
Is this a subscription? How much does it cost?
No subscription, ever. The app is free for 7 days with every feature unlocked — no card, no account needed to start. After that, one purchase of $11.99 keeps everything forever.
Does the app work offline?
Yes, completely. All music, sounds and the night light work with no internet connection — at home, at grandma's, on a plane. Many parents install it on an old phone as a dedicated sleep device. How to set that up →
Isn't the night light just screen time?
It's designed to be watched from a distance like a nightlight, not held in hands — dim, slow, with no interaction to reward. You can also set Auto Screen Off, which turns the display fully black after a delay you choose.
Will my baby become dependent on music to fall asleep?
A consistent sleep cue is a feature of a good bedtime routine, not a flaw. The gradual fade-out teaches children to stay asleep in silence, and you can shorten the timer over time if you want to wean off.
