Adele top for soothing songs

The record-breaking chart star, who may be struggling with her own sleep patterns after giving birth last month, was found to be the most effective soundtrack for nodding off.

A survey by hotel chain Travelodge showed Adele topped the charts when it comes to snooze-some tunes, as it helps people relax.

The Rolling In The Deep singer has deposed Coldplay from the top of the charts when it comes to nodding off. The band were number one for the firm’s previous surveys in 2008 and 2010, but were pushed into second spot this time.

The poll of 2,000 adults put Snow Patrol in third place.
