More and more people are reporting trouble sleeping and heightened stress, especially with today’s fast-paced routines and digital distractions. While medical treatments are readily available, many individuals are drawn toward more familiar, non-medicated ways of coping—especially those rooted in their culture. This study looks at how regular listening to Raga Yaman in the evening and Raga Bhairavi in the morning might help adults feel less stressed and sleep better. Thirty participants followed this daily routine for two weeks, and their sleep quality and emotional responses were tracked through sleep logs, stress scales, and personal reflections. A number of participants mentioned falling asleep more easily and feeling emotionally more balanced during the study period. These experiences reflect how consistent listening to ragas like Yaman and Bhairavi may offer a familiar and culturally sensitive approach to managing stress and improving rest.
