It Takes Nine Minutes for Music to Make You Happy

According to research, it takes less than ten minutes for music to make you happy. 7,500 people were observed to see how long it takes to have a “therapeutic effect.” If you’re feeling sad or stressed, you only need 13 minutes to pull you out of it and if you’re already in an okay mood, just nine minutes to make you happier. The best type of songs to help you relax is something with a slow tempo, a simple melody, and no lyrics. On the other side of that…to make you happy is something with a driving rhythm, fast tempo, and happy lyrics.
