Music has been known for some time that it can be relaxing for the human body. Scientists from Mindlab in the United Kingdom did research and came to a surprising discovery. The music track ‘Weightless’ by Marconi Union has a great relaxing effect. The secret of the number? “It has a rhythm that starts at 60 beats per minute and slowly slows down to 50 beats per minute,” said Lyz Cooper of the British Academy of Sound Therapy. “While you’re listening, your heartbeat slows down until it’s right with that beat. This in turn leads to a reduction in blood pressure. Because there is no repetitive melody in it, your brain can turn off completely, because they do not try to predict what will happen next. “Listening to this song before going to sleep will ensure a relaxed night’s sleep.
