What's the best music to fall asleep to?

Why do certain sounds make us feel safe, calm, and ready to sleep? For thousands of years, humans have searched for the perfect sounds to quiet the mind. From lullabies and the sounds of nature to ambient music, white noise, and modern sleep playlists, music has always been connected to the way we rest. In this documentary, we explore the strange history of music for sleep: the science behind relaxing sounds, the role of repetition and rhythm, the origins of lullabies, the rise of relaxation tapes, ASMR, ambient music, and the artists who created soundscapes designed to slow down the mind. Why do some songs help us sleep? Why do rain, ocean waves, and familiar sounds feel comforting? How did sleep music become a global phenomenon? Featuring music, science, history, and personal experiences with albums by Steven Halpern, Brian Eno, and Ichiko Aoba.
