There’s no better time than the present to make quality, restorative sleep a priority in your life and start seeing the positive impact. And speaking of the present, it just so happens that May is Better Sleep Month, and I am partnering with the Better Sleep Council (BSC) to help everyone get better in bed – as it relates to sleep, of course. When I want to quiet my mind, unwind and snooze sounder, all I do is hit “play” and let the sweet sounds of my favorite music lull me to sleep. Since ancient times, in regions all around the world, babies have been lulled to sleep with sweet, repetitive melodies known as lullabies. Soothing music is not just good for infants, it’s good for everyone. The slow tempo can help decrease the heart rate and, in turn, lower blood pressure – which is good, because a rapid heart rate can disturb sleep. Music has the power to calm the mind and reduce the effects of stress on the body. It can be relaxing, even hypnotic, putting us in the perfect state of mind to drift off into a deep sleep. Studies have found that music with no defined melody and minimal fluctuations in volume is particularly good for helping you fall asleep. Instrumental music that is string-instrument based, with little or no horns and drums, can lower anxiety and bring on drowsiness. Classical music works great, as does New Age, Native American or Celtic music. We’ve linked a few pieces you might want to add to your sleep playlist: The British Academy of Sound Therapy says that the most perfect song to put a person to sleep is called “Weightless.” The Academy collaborated with the Manchester band Marconi Union to produce this relaxing song. Because there is no repeated melody, the brain doesn’t try to predict the next sounds coming. According to research from Mindlab International, “Weightless” reduces anxiety by 65%. There is an 8-minute version, an extended 30-minute version, and a much longer 10-hour version.

The beautiful piano sounds are gentle and meditative. (YouTube video: https://youtu.be/-SrvreW-E80)

As the name suggests, this music is meant to be played at night, to soothe the soul after a long day.
