| How to optimize music listening for the best possible sleep | | | | | | In our last newsletter, we shared that music has a positive effect on your sleep. Now, we would like to highlight 3 factors to consider if you want to optimize listening to music to achieve the best possible sleep results: | | | | ☝️ 45 minutes is the ideal time to listen to music before sleeping | | | | Although there is a need for further research on the exact correlation, studies showed that putting on tunes before bedtime for 45 minutes might help you doze off to sleep. For example, kids who listened to a 45-minute classical CD before naptime and bedtime for three consecutive weeks reported a significantly better sleep efficiency and sleep duration. | | | | ✌️ Different types/genres of music work for different people | | | | Classical music isn't the only way to go! Studies show that there are various musical genres and artists that you can listen to before sleeping like ambient music and pop-rock, and include artists like Sebastian Bach, Mozart, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and Brian Eno.
Another option could be to listen to binaural beats as they may lower brainwave frequency and boost the three main sleep-promoting hormones: DHEA, cortisol, and melatonin. | | | | 👌 Ideal devices for listening to music | | | | Raise your hand if you've slept with your ear pods in while your favorite playlist went on (oops... we know we're guilty! ✋)
But did you know? Sleeping with your headphones in while listening to music is a health risk and could cause permanent damage such as hearing loss, skin necrosis and built up earwax.
Safer options include using a stereo system, “pillow speakers”, or headphones that are built into a stretchy headband. | | | | ✋ Just Reminding You ✋
