Different kinds of music influence our feelings and alertness(警觉) in various ways. Some pieces of music can really get us in the mood to dance, while others have the power to boost our confidence. Lullabies(摇篮曲), however, are special. They can make babies and young kids feel calm and relaxed, and help them fall asleep quickly.
Lullabies are well-liked all over the world. No matter where they come from, they have some things in common. They usually have simple words and melodies, a slow tempo(节奏), a soft voice, and a gentle rhythm. Scientists have done a lot of studies on lullabies. Research shows that lullabies can slow down a baby's heart and breathing rates. This makes babies pay less attention to things around them, which helps them sleep more soundly. In fact, babies with someone singing lullabies to them fall asleep faster and have a better sleep than those without.
There are good reasons why lullabies have calming effects. First, the steady and slow rhythms are similar to the comforting sounds a baby heard before being born, like the mother's heartbeat and soft voice. Second, lullabies make listeners feel safe because they know someone who cares for them is close by.
An ancient lullaby was found on a 4,000-year-old clay tablet. Interestingly, both those who listen to lullabies and those who sing them can benefit from these special songs. So, if you need to calm down, why not try singing or listening to a lullaby? It might just work like magic!
