Does Lullabies Work on Adults?

Lullaby renditions are available for your favourite songs
As an adult, classic lullabies for babies such as twinkle twinkle little star and black sheep can seem childish and nonsensical. If you feel like you're missing out on lullabies, we have good news!

Do lullabies actually work?

All research points to yes — lullabies are scientifically proven to lull babies to sleep, stimulate language and cognitive development, as well as strengthen the emotional bond between a parent and child. This bond is communicated without words.

Is it OK to leave lullabies on all night?

Limit it to 30 minutes: Kennedy says not to let lullabies run all night, because the brain stays attuned to sound and might not get into a deep sleep. Playing music for a half-hour after bedtime is good.
