Music & the Brain: Choosing the Right Playlist for Your Kids

๐ฅ๐๏ธHot off the press!!
If you have any interest in improving your kids sleep๐, listen to this:
๐ถ A brand new study found that listening to music for 30 minutes before bedtime may improve sleep:
Participants downloaded an app called *Music Star* and listened to music for at least 30 minutes at bedtime for 4 weeks.
๐ They experienced better sleep quality and longer sleep than people not listening to music.
The Music Star app is designed as a multicolored star, with each corner of the star linking to a different tempo of music:
๐ต Blue playlists are the quietest
๐ข Green playlists are more lively
๐ด Red playlists are the most upbeat
โช Gray playlists are more for focus
So, if youโre trying out new ideas for a bedtime routine, maybe you could think about adding music to the mix ๐ถ
