Why you will sleep better

Distract Your Mind

Stressed thoughts keeping you up at night? Can’t quiet your busy mind? The “distraction response” is where specific music takes your attention away from wakeful thoughts replacing them with new calming thoughts as you engage with features of the music.

Decrease Breath & Heartrate, and Increase Delta Brainwave Activity

Feeling full of energy at bedtime? “Musical entrainment” is a process where your bodily rhythms sync to the beat of music (the tempo). Depending on the music, this can either be beneficial or detrimental for sleep. The Can’t Sleep App uses tempo manipulation to encourage your body to achieve a relaxed state, making it easier for you to fall asleep.

Improve Your Mood

Wish you could just relax? Listening to the right type of music at bedtime can be a very relaxing experience. We all love music and this can improve your mood. This ‘mood improvement’ can decrease the fight or flight response (noradrenaline) and encourage sleep.

Create a Signal to Sleep

Do you browse through social media in bed when you should be sleeping? Stimulating activities can confuse your brain into wakefulness. Using the Can’t Sleep App regularly sends a signal to your brain that it’s time to go to sleep. The more regularly you use the app, the stronger the association between sleep and the music.
