240 Hours of Relaxing, Sleep-Inducing Sounds from Sci-Fi Video Games: From Blade Runner to Star Wars

Need to put a little geek in your sleep? We’ve got just what you need…

Back in 2009, the musician dubbed Cheesy Nirvosa” began experimenting with ambient music, before launching a YouTube channel where he “composes longform space and scifi ambience,” much of it designed to help you relax, or ideally fall asleep. He calls the videos “ambient geek sleep aids.”

You can sample his work with the playlist above. Called “Video Game Relaxation Sounds,” the playlist features “long relaxing soundscapes from video games.” Sci-fi video games, to be precise. The playlist gives you access to 21 soundscapes, running more than 240 hours in total. Lull yourself to sleep, for example, with ambient sounds from the 1997 Blade Runner video game, a “sidequel” to the Ridley Scott film. Or de-stress with this ambient noise produced by the A/SF-01 B-Wing Starfighter. It’s taken from this 2001 Star Wars game created by LucasArts.

Stream the playlist above. And hope you enjoy dreaming of electric sheep.
