Slow Raga or Soft Instrumental Music at Bedtime
Fifteen minutes of a slow raga or soft flute music at low volume while you settle down. A calming ritual, not a treatment.
A calm ending to the day
Slow, unhurried music is an old way to end the day. A soft raga, flute or sitar piece at low volume can give the mind something gentle to follow instead of scrolling.
Choose music without sudden changes, set a timer so it turns off by itself and keep the volume low. This is a calming ritual and not a treatment for sleep disorders.
