Lullabies induced sleep in us when we were infants. Music has been one of the mysteries of our world, refreshing the human mind.
The facts are revealing.
The survey reports conclude, “62% of respondents stated that they used music to help them sleep.” Music offers unique properties that stimulate sleep (Provide). Music induces a physical or mental state conducive to sleep (State). Music also blocks an internal or external stimulus that would otherwise disrupt sleep (Distracts).

FAQs
Instrumental music brings better relaxation when compared to songs before sleeping. In songs, lyrics often distract you from sleep. Slow music, preferably classical music, slows down the pulse and decreases the stress hormones. Indian-stringed instruments, Celtic, Tabla (slow ragas), and most importantly, flute or the sounds of nature like the rain droplets and flowing rivers are the most relaxing sounds.
Music calms parts of the autonomic nervous system, leading to slower breathing, lower heart rate, and reduced blood pressure. But refrain from plugging in your ear pods and going off to sleep with music. Use speakers instead. Ear pods used for a long period can cause permanent damage to your ears.
