There are few things better than curling up on the couch with a blanket and a good book. It’s even more satisfying when you’re reading in bed, without any distractions from work or social obligations. And there’s no better way to cap off your night than by listening to soothing music before you drift off into a deep sleep.
Music can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.
Music can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. It’s been shown to slow down your brain waves, which induces relaxation and makes it easier for you to drift off into slumberland. Research has found that listening to classical music may improve sleep better than listening to no music at all, although other studies have shown similar results with popular songs like “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel or “Hey Jude” by The Beatles.
A study published in 2013 found that people who listened to a 20-minute mix of ambient sounds before bedtime saw an increase in their melatonin levels (a hormone that regulates sleep) as well as improved quality of sleep compared with those who didn’t listen beforehand or used white noise instead
Music can slow down your brain waves and induce relaxation.
You may have heard of the “R&R” method, which stands for relaxation and rest. This technique can be used to help you fall asleep faster, but it can also be helpful if you’re having trouble staying asleep throughout the night.
The idea behind R&R is that listening to music has been shown to slow down brain waves and induce relaxation. This means that when you listen before bedtime, your brain will enter a more relaxed state than it would otherwise–which makes it easier for your body and mind to go into sleep mode (and stay there).

A 2012 study in the Journal of Advanced Nursing found that those who listened to classical music while they slept reported feeling less stressed when they woke up. Another study, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine in 2017, found that people who listened to relaxing music before bedtime had lower blood pressure and heart rate after sleeping than those who didn’t listen to any type of audio or visual stimulus before bedtime.”
What kinds of music are known to help with sleep?
There are numerous tunes and genres that are known to help with sleep– from lullabies to classical pieces, from classic rock ballads to mellow jazz tunes, and more. However, the specific songs or artists you choose will depend on your own personal taste. For example:
- Lullabies (e.g., Brahms’ Lullaby) can be soothing when sung by a parent or other close family member.
- Classical pieces (e.g., “The Four Seasons” by Vivaldi) are often played at bedtime in many cultures around the world because they’re calming but not too distracting–and they’re also beautiful!
- Country Western music has been shown in studies done at Texas A&M University Health Science Center at Houston School of Medicine as having a positive effect on patients with insomnia due to its relaxing qualities; however, if you don’t like country western then this probably won’t work for you either…
Listen to music before bed to help you fall asleep fast and sleep more deeply!
Music is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to sleep. It can help you fall asleep faster, and it’ll also make your sleep more restful. That’s because music can slow down your brain waves and induce relaxation. When you listen to classical music before bed, research has found that this can improve sleep better than listening to no music at all!
Some people believe that certain types of music are bad for sleeping–specifically heavy metal or rap–because they think these genres will increase anxiety and cause nightmares. However, there have been no conclusive studies on this topic so far; in fact, one study found that listening to rock ‘n’ roll improved dream recall!
