WHILE a lot of us will listen to quiet and slow music while counting sheep to fall asleep, European researchers say that a lot of our Spotify playlists for sleep include faster, louder and more energetic tracks.
The team looked at 225,626 tracks from 985 playlists on Spotify that are associated with sleep, and say that only three of six discovered sub-categories included ambient music, whereas the others had higher levels of energy, and often included several pop songs, including Dynamite by BTS, and Lovely by Billie Eilish and Khalid.
The researchers believe that despite the higher energy of the songs, the familiarity might in fact aid with relaxation and sleep.
