Research suggests that acoustic Christmas songs with a slow tempo can help children sleep better during the holiday season.
The end-of-year holiday period is not always the most relaxing time for children. Between seemingly endless family dinners and the excitement of opening presents, the youngest among us often experience disrupted sleep patterns and may even have trouble calming down at bedtime. But not just any song celebrating the magic of the festive season will do the trick.
This research claims that certain songs, particularly acoustic tracks with a slow tempo (less than 100 beats per minute), can help children find sleep. Experts from the Bed Kingdom website came to this conclusion after cataloguing the key characteristics of over 300 tracks in sleep-related Spotify playlists. Mariah Carey's song “Christmas Time Is in The Air Again,” released in 2010 on her album “Merry Christmas II You,” appears in tenth place thanks to its soothing tempo. Generally speaking, if you want to help your children find sleep through music, favour Christmas songs with a slow tempo. “Ensuring a restful night’s sleep during the festive season is of utmost importance. A carefully curated sleep playlist should help listeners unwind and recharge, with discernible features like a reduced tempo, quiet dynamics, and simple rhythm patterns,” explain the Bed Kingdom specialists
