Scientists say it happens overnight

Ever wake up with a random song stuck in your head before you even hear the radio?

Turns out, that might not be random at all.

Researchers say your brain can continue processing music while you sleep — replaying melodies and songs you heard earlier in the day even after you’ve drifted off.

In other words, your mind may be running its own overnight playlist.

Scientists studying sleep patterns found the brain doesn’t completely shut down when it comes to music. Even during deeper sleep cycles, areas responsible for sound memory stay active and can quietly “replay” what you listened to earlier.

That could explain why some songs seem to follow you into the next morning without warning.

It also explains why the catchiest songs are usually the hardest to shake — your brain is literally rehearsing them while you’re asleep.

So if you woke up today with a classic rock hook stuck in your head…

there’s a good chance your brain was the overnight DJ.

And honestly, there are worse ways to wake up.
