The kind of music you’re listening to could affect the impact it has on your sleep. Music can also soothe the nervous system, causing slower breathing, heart rate and lower blood pressure.Ī scientific study examined soothing non-commercial music’s impact on sleep and body functions in intensive care unit patients and found that “the music group patients also had significantly lower heart rates than those in the control group,” the study read. Listening to music while sleeping can help people relax because it decreases cortisol levels, a stress hormone that contributes to alertness, according to the Sleep Foundation. Sometimes it depends on a person’s suggestibility, or “the ability of a person to respond to suggestions in terms of perceptual, cognitive, neural and bodily processes,” according to a scientific report. There is a debate about whether the sounds are keeping your brain awake with active listening and not allowing it to rest properly or if it is soothing the brain in some way. You might’ve heard of white noise, but what about pink noise or brown noise? There are so many different kinds of sounds that people play while sleeping, but do they really work? Well, scientists have been trying to find out, and this is what they’ve found.

While a new living situation or noisy roommates may make it difficult to get a full eight hours, some studies have shown that sound and music may be the answer to improving your quality of sleep. It’s not always easy to get a good night’s sleep, especially for students living on-campus. Darvin Nelson, General Assignment Reporter
