Background and Conception
3:36 (Music to Sleep To) was initially released exclusively on Poppy's Bandcamp. The album does not contain any of Poppy's vocals, instead being a set of instrumentals composed and produced by Poppy and Titanic Sinclair. Every song on the album has been used as background music in at least one Poppy video. The album is $10.00 USD.
Poppy later mentioned the album and promoted it in her video titled "Ambient Music". In this video, she claims that her true passion is creating ambient music, as well as that a portion of the proceeds made by the album will go directly to people who suffer from sleep apnea.
On September 18th, 2020, the album was re-released to music streaming services under I'm Poppy Records. However, this re-release features a completely renumbered tracklist, with only "Obnoxious Blocks" and "Phonic" retaining their original positions on the tracklist. It also features shorter versions of "Air People", "Me Time Me" and "Telepathy".
