Wellness-minded consumers and those who struggle with falling asleep definitely checked-out popular solutions such as sleep-inducing music. Recently, the personalized meditation and sleep app Balance introduced an in-app feature that boasts specially curated sleep-inducing music. The playlist has been scientifically backed through clinical trials which have shown that users can fall asleep up to 55% faster by playing it in the background.
The Deep Sleep feature on Balance is offered in different durations ranging from 15 minutes to 10 hours. The sound is carefully modulated at low frequencies to enhance slow-wave sleep while maintaining a normal sleep pattern. It provides a consistent and relaxing sound, free of gaps, and filtered to reduce sleep-interfering auditory events.
