Enhance Your Sleep with Calming Bedtime Music

Enhance Your Sleep with Calming Bedtime Music

Struggling to fall asleep? Calming bedtime music and pink noise may be the perfect solution. Research shows that soothing tunes, such as soft instrumental music, nature sounds, and pink noise, can help reduce stress, lower heart rates, and promote relaxation. Pink noise, a consistent and balanced sound with lower frequencies (like rainfall or rustling leaves), has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting deeper sleep stages. By incorporating these sounds as well as using our pillow spray into your child's nightly routine, you can create a calming environment, making it easier to drift off into restful sleep.
