Use of Music to Improve Sleep Quality

Introduction The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the literature to determine the influence of music during sleep. Sleep is an important aspect of health and quality of life. Sleep disorders occur for various reasons such as stress, insomnia, sleep disorder, or elderly people. Children who are difficult to handle often have sleep problems (Koenig & Rudney, 2010). Hypersensitivity is associated with sleep disorders, specifically, children with tactile sensations have 25% more sleep disorders than colleagues (Shochat, Tzischinsky, & Engel-Yeger, 2009).

Music has been scientifically proved to be beneficial by reducing stress, enhancing vascular function, increasing sleep quality, and increasing cognitive abilities. But one thing that music does not improve is the ability to concentrate. In a recent study conducted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers discovered that listening to concerts reduces the efficiency of remembering names. Participants in this study were asked to assign challenges to their names and tasks including associative memory. In associative memory, memories of events and places are caused by memories of things related to them. Because music is deeply involved in associative memory, associating a specific song with another important song makes it impossible to hear a specific song. Like other types of memory, associative memory is handled in the hippocampus of the brain.

In the meta-analysis of 10 randomized trials, researchers tracked 557 patients with chronic sleep disorder. They concluded that the concert improved the quality of sleep and concluded that "music can help improve the sleep quality of patients with acute and chronic sleep disorders."

There are many reasons for sleeping disorders, so there are many ways to improve the quality of sleep. One of the most fun and effective non medication therapies for sleep disorders is music. In the last article, I summarized the powerful effects of research showing music listening. Most studies showing the effect of music use Western classical music with a rhythm of 60-80 beats per minute Rhythm slowly and steadily, pitch is bass, melody is soothing. Listening to this type of music before going to bed greatly improves sleep quality for people with acute and chronic sleep disorders. For those looking for effective nonpharmacological treatments for sleep disorders it is definitely worth a try.
