Car ride sounds for sleep
The Ride Home is a sleep soundscape created for listeners who fall asleep best to car ride sounds. Gentle highway noise, steady engine hum, and the quiet rhythm of nighttime driving recreate the familiar feeling of drifting off in the backseat on a long ride home.
These calming car sounds are designed to slow racing thoughts, reduce anxiety, and help you fall asleep naturally.

Settle in with a classic sleep story
Begin with a gentle bedtime story and breathing cues, then drift into a classic reading in the soft tones of AM radio. Or skip the narration and unwind to the calming soundscape alone.
How The Ride Home helps you fall asleep
Each episode follows a simple, sleep-focused flow:
– First, the car ride soundscape begins, paired with a short original bedtime story and gentle breathing cues to help your body relax.
– Next, a quiet reading is heard as if playing softly on an old AM radio, blending naturally into the background.
– Finally, the episode fades into an extended stretch of uninterrupted car ride sounds for sleep, perfect if you want nothing but soothing road noise.
You can listen straight through or skip ahead to sleep with the soundscape alone.
