What do you guys make of this?

as someone that struggles with insomnia myself, I can relate to this. I stopped listening to music before bed, though I was mostly ambient sleep music anyways that I can take or leave at the end of the day. I do listen to a lot of music during the workday though.
They said that instrumental music is worse, though taking a catchy taylor swift song and removing the lyrics does not make it 'instrumental'. I would be curious to see a study done on Classical music for example, or jazz where there is no clear melody. I can't imagine either of these genres would cause an ear worm.
