Looking for a glow up?
Briefly

The article discusses how personal transformation, known as a "glow up," is not limited to external changes but includes fostering confidence and holistic well-being. It emphasizes the significant role of music, often overlooked despite the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry. Research illustrates that music can enhance sleep quality, lower stress levels, and improve exercise performance, contributing to overall health and appearance. For sleepers, music can drastically reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, lower cortisol, and enhance mood. For exercise, music offers both physiological and psychological benefits, optimizing workout performance.
Scientific research underscores the profound impact of music on essential aspects of well-being, including sleep quality, stress management, and exercise performance.
A study involving women with insomnia found that participants who listened to self-selected music at bedtime for 10 nights reduced their time to fall asleep from 27 to 69 minutes to just 6 to 13 minutes.
Listening to music before bed can stimulate dopamine, the same 'feel-good' hormone released during pleasurable activities like eating, exercising, and intimacy.
Music isn't just about setting the vibe for your workout-it has measurable physiological and psychological benefits that can push you to perform at your best.
