Personalised Sleep Song

Introducing our new, personalised songs...

Serenna: It can be really tough having a loved one with additional needs who wants to go to sleep, but they aren't able to. As long as I can remember, I have always sung to my children at bed time to help them to wind down, and, even though one of them is now a teenager, they still ask me to sing to them every night.

Some of my clients are in need of an afternoon nap and over the years I have developed songs to help them to go to sleep more easily as a natural way to end a music therapy session. In several cases, I can pretty much guarantee that a certain, highly-predictable combination of chords, combined with a repetitive arpeggio accompaniment will induce sleep. I started to record personalised 'sleep songs' for some of my clients because parents and carers have found them very useful when I'm not there.

Research proves that hearing your own name gives the brain a huge boost Alexandrov, Y., Klucharev, V., & Sams, M. (2007). "Functional MRI reveals special cortical activation to one's own name." Neuroreport. Combining this phenomenon with reducing cortisol, increasing oxytocin and promoting melatonin (the sleep hormone) using appropriate music creates the ideal conditions for sleep. Gentle, predictable music can soothe the vagas nerve and help clients shift into the parasympathetic (rest and recovery) nervous system which is what is needed. We can add gentle white noise (waves or similar in the background) to further assist with this effect, as desired.

Would you like us to compose and record a Personalised Sleep Song for your loved one? The style and instrument choices can be adapted to any age group – we are offering this service for a very reduced price until the end of September! The offer includes:

A 30-Minute Coffee chat: We'll discuss your loved-one's favourite sounds, musical styles, and personal details like beloved toys or family members to be included in the song. This ensures that the lullaby is perfectly suited to their tastes and needs.
A Personalised Lullaby: Professionally composed and performed, this song will incorporate all the special details we've discussed, creating a comforting and familiar melody that lulls your loved-one into peaceful sleep.
Long-lasting benefits: Your personalised lullaby can be used night after night, helping to establish a consistent, calming bedtime routine that benefits both you and your loved-one.
Reduce bedtime stress: A lullaby that relates directly to your loved-one’s world can soothe anxiety and make bedtime something to look forward to.
Enhance sleep quality: The calming effects of music are proven to aid deep sleep, and a personalised song makes the experience even more powerful.
Enjoy some time for you at last: With your loved-one settling down more easily, you can finally reclaim your evenings for some much-needed relaxation.
