Listening to more music is a great way to boost your mood, release stress, and even sleep better. Studies have shown that listening to music before bed can help you have a better night’s rest. Of course, you’ll want to choose relaxing music, typically tunes that fall into folk, classical, or jazz genres. Something that is between 60 to 80 beats per minute (bpm). So if you struggle to get a restful sleep, you may want to add music to your nightly routine.

Evening isn’t the only time you can enjoy the benefits of music. When you’ve had a hard day and you’re feeling stressed, turn on some music that boosts your mood or lets you wind down. You have to find which tunes really help you get out of your funk and feel better. Maybe it’s a relaxing channel with a warm bath that soothes you or maybe it’s some dance music that you can really get moving and singing to. You have to figure out what makes you feel the best.
