SleepForm Studio is the independent publishing brand of Salim Ibn Ahmad, producing both books and media. Our work ranges from published titles like From Rain to Moonlight to long-form videos filmed across Australia. Our mission is to create immersive experiences through stories, videos, and creative works.

All works are created and published by Salim Ibn Ahmad — author, media producer, and creator of SleepForm Studio.

Some projects share a reflective and atmospheric tone, while others — such as historical fiction — explore entirely new worlds. All are tied together by a focus on storytelling and immersion.

Videos are uploaded regularly to YouTube, while books take more time to complete. Updates on upcoming projects are always posted here on the site.

Books are available through the Books page on this site, as well as major online retailers such as Amazon.

We publish a mix of reflective works and action-driven fiction by Salim Ibn Ahmad. Our debut release is From Rain to Moonlight, with more historical fiction and creative titles on the way.

While some works, like From Rain to Moonlight, are inspired by the same atmosphere as our videos, others — such as our historical fiction novels — explore completely different themes. All share the same goal: to immerse readers in vivid, memorable worlds.

Not always. Some titles may include mature themes or depictions of violence, especially in historical fiction. We’ll always describe the tone of each book clearly so readers know what to expect.

All books are written by Salim Ibn Ahmad and published under SleepForm Studio.

We create long-form ambient videos featuring natural Australian soundscapes like rain, ocean, birdsong, and calming indoor scenes to help with sleep, study, and relaxation.

The Raw footage used is usually looped from 1 hour to 12 hours, for your convenience. This allows you to play it as long as you like, without having to restart the video. The original footage could be any length, from under a minute to over an hour long.

Absolutely. They’re designed to be gentle and non-disruptive throughout the night.

All scenes are captured in Australia and are usually location tagged for your convenience, using real environments and settings for authentic sound and visuals.

Many viewers find that natural ambient sound helps reduce anxiety and create a calm sleep environment — but results vary by individual.

Yes. The natural soundscapes promote focus, reduce distractions, and enhance concentration.

Gentle rain, distant thunder, ocean waves, and soft night sounds are popular. Check out our Videos and Playlists pages to explore more.

Both are crafted carefully. The visuals add to the atmosphere, especially if you’re using a TV or screen for ambient background.

No speech, no music — just raw, natural ambience with minimal editing.

Maybe in the future — we’re keeping things simple for now.

We try our best to capture each locations audio in perfect quality but sometimes the wind is too loud, it is too crowded with people, there are cars driving past etc, or the audio may just not sound right once it’s on the computer and needs to be replaced with something that fits the scene. Sometimes part of the original audio is perfect but part way through it is ruined by these factors so it is looped and becomes out of sync with the footage. As a last resort we may end up reusing older audio files in multiple videos.

We prioritize realism — sounds and visuals evolve naturally over time instead of looping.

Not necessarily — but quality headphones or speakers will enhance the experience.

That’s intentional — still scenes reduce sensory overload and promote calm.
