When I heard about a song that was scientifically proven to be the most relaxing in the world, I dashed off to listen to all 8 minutes of it. Sure enough, soon after listening to it, I became abnormally drowsy, and couldn't even keep my eyes open. The song is so effective at inducing sleep that people have been warned they shouldn't listen to it while driving!
The song is called "Weightless" and was created by Marconi Union with the help of a team of sound therapists commissioned by the British Academy of Sound Therapy
with the purpose to curb anxiety and induce a relaxed state. Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson's research with MindLab International has proven that it reduces stress, blood pressure, cortisol, and anxiety by 65% (after
only three minutes of listening). It produced a greater state
of relaxation than any other song tested by 11% and was even found to
produce greater relaxation than a massage!
