How a lofi nap works
- 1
Drift
Purrple Cat lofi plays at full volume while you settle in. The calmest songs come last.
- 2
Fade
The music slowly sinks, so there’s no moment where it suddenly stops and wakes you.
- 3
Hush
A whisper of music keeps going underneath. Soft, Whisper or Almost silent, your call.
- 4
Wake
In the last minute, your wake-up song rises from nothing. No beeping, no jump scare.
Eight ways to wake up
No alarm tone. Pick one of eight bright, gentle Purrple Cat songs and it rises in the last minute of your nap.
Nap tips, quickly
Short beats long
10 to 20 minutes keeps you out of deep sleep, so you wake up clear.
Early afternoon
The post-lunch dip, roughly 1 to 3 PM, is the easiest time to drift off.
Coffee nap
Have a coffee right before a 20 minute nap. It tends to kick in as you wake.
Dark and comfy
Dim the light or use an eye mask, and lie a little reclined.

Questions
Is the music on lofinap.com free?
Yes. Every song is by Purrple Cat and licensed CC BY 4.0. Stream it here, download the MP3s, and use it on social media and livestreams with credit: “Music by Purrple Cat”.
Will the music keep me awake?
It’s built not to. The drift songs are the calmest Purrple Cat tracks, and after a few minutes the music fades down to a whisper (or almost silence) until it’s time to wake up.
How does the wake-up work?
In the last minute of your nap, the wake-up song you picked fades up from silence to full volume. You can add 5 more minutes or tap “I’m up”.
Does it work with my phone locked?
Keep the tab open. lofinap asks your screen to stay on while you nap (most modern browsers allow it). If your phone locks anyway, the music may pause, so set a backup alarm for anything important.
What’s the best nap length?
For most people a 10 to 20 minute power nap is the sweet spot: you wake up before deep sleep. 90 minutes covers about one full sleep cycle. 30 minutes is the riskiest for grogginess. See the nap tips.
Who is Purrple Cat?

Can I upload these songs to Spotify or Apple Music?
No. Never upload the music, or remixes, samples or covers of it, to music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music. It causes false Content ID claims. Videos, social posts and livestreams are fine with credit.
