A compilation for sleeping: listen to "World Sleep Day 2026" featuring Brian Eno, Max Richter, Sophie Hutchings and many others

13-03-2026

Associating a song with sleep-inducing effects is usually a way of belittling it. But are we sure these qualities are only negative? Turning that perspective on its head is the compilation “World Sleep Day 2026”, a project designed to accompany rest and draw attention to the importance of healthy sleep. The initiative, launched to mark World Sleep Day, comes from a collaboration between Decca Records US and the World Sleep Society, and is part of the awareness activities tied to the international day dedicated to sleep health.

The album collects 75 tracks by more than thirty artists working in ambient, instrumental and contemporary music. The selection alternates ambient compositions, solo piano and contemporary classical writing, building a sonic flow geared towards relaxation and easy listening. Among the names involved are Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe, alongside Chad Lawson, Cameron Segal, Daigo Hanada, Erland Cooper, Jessie Marcella, Lara Somogyi with Jean-Michel Blais, Luke Howard, Max Richter, Roger Eno, Sophie Hutchings, Snorri Hallgrímsson and Víkingur Ólafsson.

Distributed on major streaming platforms, the collection supports the initiatives promoted each year for World Sleep Day, which aims to raise awareness about the importance of rest for overall health. Founded in 2008, the World Sleep Society brings together an international network of researchers, doctors and advocates of sleep medicine, committed to promoting scientific research and public education on the subject. In this context, the collaboration with Decca also aims to use music as a vehicle for raising awareness about sleep quality in everyday life.
