Sleeping Tapes is an independent informational catalog of limited-edition cassette sleep programs. Every release is hand-numbered, recorded to Type I or Type II tape, and pressed in editions of 300 to 500. Browse the collection and submit a request — no payment is collected on this site.
Every cassette below is a distinct recording with its own runtime, label color, and program layout. Use the filters to narrow by family. Add as many as you wish to your inquiry list.
Short, practical guides from our catalog team on running cassette programs in a common listening environment — a small apartment, a bedside deck, or a single speaker on a nightstand.
Most decks ship from the factory with the play head twisted off-axis by a degree or two. That tiny misalignment turns the airy top end of a soundscape into a smear. Take five minutes before your first program and the difference is audible on the very first night.
Read the guideWe're a small press, not a retail brand. The standards below apply to every cassette in the catalog, regardless of price band or program length.
Every cassette in the catalog is pressed in an edition of 300 to 500 and individually stamped with a serial number on the spine. We do not repress.
Programs are mastered on the same deck-platforms listeners are most likely to use, not studio ribbons. What you hear in the catalog matches what arrives at your bedroom.
Submitting a request opens a short, transparent ask: where to ship, who to call, what you currently listen to. No card numbers, wallet buttons, or payment data ever crosses our server.
Every inquiry is read. You'll hear back from a human at Sleeping Tapes Catalog — usually within one business day — with stock, ship estimates, and edition numbers.
If you've never submitted a request through a tape-catalog site, start here. The flow is closer to a used-record shop than a typical checkout.
This is an independent informational catalog. No order will be charged or processed on this domain. Submitting an inquiry opens a request we read by hand; we follow up with stock, edition numbers, and an offline payment plan you can accept or decline. We will never ask for card details through a follow-up email link either.
Each cassette program in the catalog is pressed on a single production run, capped between 300 and 500 units. The serial number on the spine is your proof of position in that run. Once an edition is gone, it is gone; we do not repress discontinued programs.
Yes. Every program is a physical cassette; there is no MP3, no streaming link, no app. Any deck that handles Type I (ferric) and Type II (chrome-equivalent high-output) tape will play these. Used Technics, Nakamichi, and current Japanese-made decks all work well. We include a flyer with bias suggestions on Side A.
Most requests ship within four to eight business days. A few rare titles are short-run and may take two to three weeks; the follow-up message will say which category your inquiry falls into. Domestic U.S. shipping is included in the listed inquiry price.
We keep your inquiry on file so we can write back about stock and shipping. We do not sell, rent, or share the address, email, or phone details. You can ask for the record to be deleted at any time by writing to our team — see the Privacy Policy for the full retention language.
The inquiry list is stored locally in your browser using standard browser storage. We do not load external trackers, ad pixels, or third-party analytics on this domain. No fingerprinting scripts run on any page. If you'd like to clear your inquiry list, the option is in the cart drawer.
A short, transparent ask. No payment fields. We read every inquiry.
Your request has been recorded on this device. We'll write back from Sleeping Tapes Catalog within one business day. No payment is collected online — any follow-up payment plan happens offline, by your choice.
