Effects of pleasant sound on overnight sleep condition: A crossover randomized study.

ABSTRACT: It is desirable to improve sleep quality since poor sleep results in decreases in work productivity and increases in risks of lifestyle-related diseases. Sleep spindles in sleep EEG are waveforms that characterize non-REM sleep Stage 2 (Stage N2). Music therapy has been adopted as a non-pharmacological therapy for sleep quality improvement; however, few studies mention the relationship between music during sleep and spindles. We conducted a crossover randomized study to investigate music's effects on spindles and sleep parameters. Polysomnography (PSG) was performed on 12 adult males with sleep difficulties over three nights, during which they were exposed to three different acoustic environments-silent, white noise, and pleasant sounds-throughout the night, in a crossover randomized setti
