Have you ever had a restless night, one of those where you toss and turn and can’t seem to get comfortable? Have you lied in bed, staring at your ceiling in the dark, just waiting to see if the warmth and stillness would help you to fall asleep in the first place?

Engaging in a relaxing activity such as reading, meditation, yoga, or listening to music, before going to bed, can help you to get a good night sleep. Perform this activity in a dimly lit, stress-free environment. Try to schedule your activity to take place at the same time every day. A regular routine helps to promote quality sleep.

Brain-wave music is intended to synchronize with your. Well, brain waves! This type of music is specifically designed to bring about a seriously deep sleep, within which you will experience a higher recovery than normal sleep gives
