Singing isn’t just a great mood booster – it can also help you feel more awake. Emma Baylin, the founding director of Shared Harmonies – a CIC specialising in singing for wellbeing – says just a quick sing song can help you to feel more awake.

“Singing is a wonderful (and free) way to boost your energy levels,” she explains. “Singing releases all four happiness hormones giving you that uplifted feeling as well as reducing the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) present in the body.

“The breathwork associated with singing also helps to regulate the nervous system and exercises the muscles used to breathe.”
