Summary Listening to music is a commonly accepted way to reduce stress and improve relaxation, and although there are studies detailing the effect of music on the human mind during wakefulness, there is a lack of studies on its effect. during sleep. By foregoing research into the effect of music on sleep, the opportunity to improve sleep through non-pharmaceutical means is reduced, thereby imposing more expensive and side-effect-prone treatments on people with sleep problems. . Given that studies show that music is a positive stimulus for human emotion, one might wonder how emotion changes during periods of inactive thought and environmental scanning. This connection between human emotion and music holds promise for improving sleep for people suffering from chronic and temporary sleep abnormalities. Introducing ambient music to young adults before sleep, or slowly introducing music during sleep, improves sleep quality while minimizing negative consequences. Effect of ambient music on sleep in young adults Discussion First, it is necessary to identify and classify the problems associated with sleep loss. Most commonly, “sleep disturbances can lead to fatigue, depression, greater anxiety, irritability, sensitivity to pain, muscle tremors, immunosuppression, and lack of daytime alertness” (Lai and Good, 2005). As a result, those who have sleep problems face persistent problems, often without a simple solution. Since “sleep quality is a very important factor in quality of life”, much research is devoted to the treatment of sleep disorders (Harmat, Takacs and Bodizs, 2008). This research has led to the development of pharmaceutical solutions; however, medicinal solutions may not always... middle of paper ... heart rate, respiratory rate, and any noted abnormalities of the subject, tabulating them and comparing them again to the data from the other two groups. Conclusion When examining the effect of music on stress reduction and sleep quality, a direct relationship between the two is expected to emerge. The sleep quality of subjects listening to music is expected to increase compared to subjects not listening to music, although it is not clear how sleep quality is affected by the timing of music. music is introduced. Such findings reinforce the strength of non-pharmaceutical treatments as valid therapeutic forms for common, low-risk recurrent sleep problems. Continuing research into this and similar studies will reduce the cost, side effects and inconvenience associated with pharmaceutical remedies, replacing them with more readily available and safe treatments...
