I heard that music is a good way to put children to sleep, so I played my favorite CD, but they just won't fall asleep...

In fact, not just any music will do. CDs made specifically for that purpose are effective for putting children to sleep.

We have selected four recommended albums from various genres of music.

Features of recommended music for putting your child to sleep

When their favorite music plays, children become happy and express their joy with their whole body, sometimes singing or humming along, clapping their hands, or swaying their bodies.

At times like this, children's eyes are wide open, and they don't get sleepy.

Save your favorite CD for daytime use and have different music for getting your child to sleep.

Music with a slow tempo and simple melody played with gentle tones, such as on a piano or music box, is likely to induce sleepiness.

Apart from lullabies, it is recommended to use songs without lyrics if possible. Also, play sleep music at the same time every day, and make it a bedtime ritual, knowing that "it's time to go to bed when this music plays."

Recommended CD #1: "Good Night CD"

This CD is made up of music that children can feel at ease with, played on harp and strings, which have gentle tones that are essential for sleep-inducing music.

This CD was created with the advice of childcare professionals and pediatricians, and by listening to familiar melodies every day, it instills in children the formula that music = bedtime.

The songs are arranged in a way that starts off light and bright, then the tempo gradually slows down, gradually making you feel more relaxed as you listen, so it is recommended that you play them in order from the beginning.

Recommended CD No. 4: Goodnight Music Box

The tunes you always listen to can be transformed with a music box! Your baby's favorite tunes, which make them dance along with joy when they hear them, can be transformed into messengers from the land of sleep when played with a music box.

The secret to the music box's sound is that it contains sounds of frequencies that our ears cannot hear.

This inaudible sound also acts on the brain and creates a sense of peace.

Many of the songs on the CD are ones that moms will have heard as children and can hum along to, so it's a good idea to sing along with the music as a lullaby.

When babies hear their mother's voice, they feel safe and secure and can fall asleep.

This CD is also recommended for putting children to sleep when you are traveling or at your parents' house or elsewhere.
