Music to Sleep (Part One)

Whether it is classical Mozart, sounds of nature, or white noise, music and sounds have been widely used as aids for sleep and relaxation. In this first part, we will begin to explore the effects of music and sounds on our sleep, and how to take the best advantage of them to calm the mind.  

One of the most popular types of music used for sleep is classical music. While the genre has a wide span of different pieces and composers, the slower and smoother melodies can lower your stress levels and heart rate. For a few composers to consider when looking for classical music for sleep, look at Mozart, Bach, or Debussy for pieces with calming effects. 

Sounds from nature such as falling rain, rippling waves, or bird chirpings can also be effective in promoting relaxation. Mimicking the natural environment can create a tranquil atmosphere where many find peace in the rhythmic and consistent beats that many of these sounds follow, while blocking out other distractive noises.
