'Snoozefest': CMU concert explores music to sleep by

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Can music affect our sleep?

The short answer is yes, though the mechanics of “how” remain a mystery.

From 11:59 p.m. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday, Carnegie Mellon University’s Studio for Creative Inquiry presented a concert of experimental electronic music intended to create a collective audience dreamscape, or, more plainly, to toy with the subliminal effects of music.

This definitely seems interesting and had I known about it, I may have given it a shot. Like many college students, I have trouble with my sleep sometimes. It will vary. Sometimes the issue is that I can’t fall asleep and other times the issue is that I can’t stay asleep. I did have a sleep study ran and did not come back with an apnea diagnosis. Maybe, it’s the sounds or sights that are present in my sleeping space. I’ve tried different things from room darkening drapes, removing all electronics from the room, and even going to bed around the same time every night, which is hard to do when you are a grad student. Now I think I will look more into this and see what I can draw from it. Perhaps I just need to change from the white noise of my fan to something different. Time will tell.
