Humans need enough sleep to support physical and mental health. An example of therapy that can help someone sleep is lullaby music. This research aims to analyze changes in brain waves due to the influence of sleep music entitled "Sleeping Science". The research subjects were 12 male non-musician students. Using a Muse 2 EEG device, recordings were made 3 minutes before, 30 minutes during, and 3 minutes after listening to music. Data was processed using Mind Monitor website and Microsoft Excel, focusing on average absolute band power (ABP) value for the right and left hemispheres as well as the relative band power (RBP) value for each brain wave frequency band. Musical influence was categorized into four groups, namely positive (+; increase > 0.1), neutral-positive (N+; increase < 0.1), neutralnegative (N-; decrease < 0.1), and negative (-; decrease > 0.1). Based on the difference in the ABP ratio at ?/? and ?/? frequencies between before and after listening to music, the results were (+) in 6, (N+) in 2, (N-) in 3, and (-) in 1 subject. Analysis of the difference in RBP at ? frequency between before and after listening to music showed results of (+) in 5, (N+) in 4, (N-) in 3, and (-) in 0 subjects. While listening to music, 8 subjects had more right hemisphere activity and 4 had more left hemisphere activity. There was a positive correlation between the data collection duration and the ? and ? frequency bands, and a negative correlation with ? and ? bands. There is a positive correlation between adjacent and dominant brain wave frequency bands in the same conditions and vice versa. BPM of songs correlated negatively with the ? and ? frequency bands and positively with ? and ? bands. It was concluded that the music "Sleeping Science" was not enough to help someone fall asleep in all conditions.
