What type of music do you listen to sleep well?

[LizzyFitbit]

After trying the "Get More Zzz" Premium program, I love the few playlists that were included there and I believe those nights were the most relaxed I've got this year. Between college and work, it's been difficult to get a good sleep time. Currently, I've started listening to Chopin's music but, what other genres, artists or songs do you suggest to caught more Zzz? 🤔

What it helps me to get relaxed and sleep better are the sounds of the nature. I'm not sure if this gets into the music area but I love hearing sea waves and bird trills. 🙂

I really enjoy listening instrumental music 🍃 a slower tempo can quiet your mind and relax your muscles, making you feel soothed while releasing the stress of the day. I think music is effective for relaxation and stress management. 😴💤

I used to listen to "delta wave" music (tons on youtube), which helped me to achieve deep sleep quicker. I started to feel reliant on it and stopped. Meditation seems to work better for me now.

Classical music helps me sleep a little better, but it depends on which composer I'm listening to, and the rhythm. I feel like the piano sound is very relaxing, especially Mozart or Debussy. 😁

Hello everyone! Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I found interesting that I wasn't the only that listens to music when going to sleep.

@EdsonFitbit, thanks for replying. I tried once your suggestion, mostly I listen to rain sounds and it was both, relaxing and refreshing after a hard day.

@YojanaFitbit, instrumental is always great. I believe a good sleep time isn't about the amount of hours you were able to sleep, but the quality and nothing better than music (or at least for me) to sleep pretty well. 😴

@DavideFitbit, I was able to try your suggestions and they helped me a lot. I even try to listen to Mozart and Back while doing homework and it helped me to concentrate.

@WavyDavey, thanks for the advice, it helped me to start the day with more energy! I'm not sure how to do meditation 🤔 but if you have any tip for that I'll appreciate it.

I’ll see you around! 😊

@LizzyFitbit, I'm glad the delta waves helped. 🙂

I started a thread with a couple of meditation ideas for you.

I have a recording of rain I have listened to over and over.  I like it better than waves but years ago I went to a big group hypnosis session for dieters and there they used waves and "white noise".   After I started playing my rain CD I never turned on my bedroom TV again.  Any time I wake I start it again.  I can do that just by pressing a button in the dark.

Great suggestion @Glenda! 😱

The sound of the rain is so relaxing indeed.

Hello all!

@Glenda, what a coincidence, I have my own recordings as well. I have a river, rain and the sea. The rain is the one I use the most out of these. However, I find "white noise" even better. The sound of a blow dryer or a fan helps me sleep way faster, even during the day. That would be my recommendation "white noise".

I like listening to stuff like John Maus (Hey moon is one of my favorites), Ween, Joy Division, and Pink Floyd (Pigs on the Wing) anything that is relaxing, really. It's tough to really nail "genre" down because alot of artists can put out both bombastic and chill tracks. I made a playlist on youtube, but I'm always adding to it.

If I can make a non music suggestion, The podcast "Sleep With Me" is perfect and I have yet to stay awake for an entire episode, which is the point lol. I've been listening to him for years too, so hes got a solid track record with me. Each episode starts off coherent, hell give thanks to listeners, go through reddit posts, talk about a tv show hes watching, maybe talk about something from his daily life. Sometimes hell do a guided meditation, but around halfway through he will start rambling and making less and less sense. great stuff.

Hey @Darknaut, thanks for sharing. 

I had never thought of podcasts as an alternative. That sounds interesting. If you can post the direct link, I would appreciate it. I will definitely try it. Thanks!

I hope everyone has a good sleep today and keep sharing practices for better sleeping.
