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



๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ—ž๏ธHot off the press!!


If you have any interest in improving your kids sleep๐Ÿ‘‹, listen to this:


๐ŸŽถ 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.


๐Ÿ‘‰ 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:


๐Ÿ”ต Blue playlists are the quietest

๐ŸŸข Green playlists are more lively

๐Ÿ”ด Red playlists are the most upbeat

โšช Gray playlists are more for focus


So, if youโ€™re trying out new ideas for a bedtime routine, maybe you could think about adding music to the mix ๐ŸŽถ
