Binaural beats for relaxation

Answer

Binaural beats for relaxation usually target a gentle alpha (~8–12 Hz) or soft theta beat as a calm stereo backdrop. Useful for after-work decompression — not a treatment for anxiety disorders.

Explain

Relaxation intent differs from sleep: you often stay awake but unhurried. Alpha-oriented listening is a common design choice. Combine with slower breathing and reduced screen brightness for a better ritual.
