“…The subjects were applicants without sleep disturbance, and the method was random-effects meta-analysis method. 17 Five data bases were analyzed and evaluated by GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). As a result, 22 studies with 1514 cases were reviewed, and intervention of music for three weeks contributed the improvement of sleep quality.…”

Clinical effectiveness of sedative music on sleep quality was investigated. Subjects were 14 females aged 40s to 70s, and methods included listening to music during going to sleep using by sound sleep support sound player “Lullaby reverberation (Komoriuta-no-Hibiki)”, which was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in 0,4,8 weeks. Thirteen cases showed decreased points of PQSI. Time to sleep and sleep duration were almost the same. The relationship figure for PSQI and time until sleeping showed general tendency of left and horizontal/lower directional arrows. These results suggest positive beneficial effect of music for sleep quality evaluated by PSQI.

“…Elders might also have improved sleep onset, duration, and efficiency after hearing "smooth and wordless" music according to a review of studies conducted in five countries [85]. For some elders improved quality of sleep was realized only after about three weeks of listening to music [86]. Music with a soft volume, slow tempo between 60 and 80 beats per minute, and having a smooth melody has been considered "sedative music" which was more effective than rhythm-centered music to improve sleep quality with adults aged 60 and over who listened to music four or more weeks [87].…”

Enhancing Neuroplasticity Is Urgent: Music and Dance for the UN/WHO Decade of Action for Healthy Ageing for All

This descriptive overview responds to a rising tide of reviews and RCTs which encourage evidence-based interventions from the first moments of life and across the life course that could increase the Flynn effect and improve global statistics on neurocognitive functioning with a healthspan that approximates longer lifespans. We need to learn more from our centenarians who achieve Healthy Ageing. Evolving neuroscience empowers us to drive neuroplasticity in a positive direction in ways that are associated with enhancing neurocognitive functioning across the entire lifespan for vigorous longevity. Music and Dance could meet these urgent needs in ways that also have physical, emotional, neurobiological, neurochemical, immunological, and social health benefits. Interventions using Music and Dance are likely to have high initial and ongoing use because people are more inclined to do what is fun, easy, free (or low cost), portable, and culturally adaptable.

“…First, future works should aim to minimize the attrition inherent in longitudinal designs such as in the current study. As trials in this area inherently require participants to commit to a longitudinal study (one-time interventions are not efficacious; for a review on the minimum duration required for music-based interventions for sleep, see Tang et al, 2021), ways to increase participant motivation and compliance—without introducing potential confounds—should be explored.…”

Does bedtime music listening improve subjective sleep quality and next-morning well-being in young adults? A randomized cross-over trial.

Previous research has found that young adults exhibit patterns of poor sleep, and that poor sleep is associated with a host of negative psychological consequences. One potential intervention to improve sleep quality is listening to music at bedtime. While there exist previous works investigating the efficacy of listening to music as a form of sleep aid, these works have been hindered by statistically weak designs, a lack of systematic investigation of critical characteristics of music which may affect its efficacy, and limited generalizability. In light of the limitations in the existing literature, a 15-day randomized cross-over trial was carried out with 62 young adults. Participants completed five nights of bedtime listening to each condition (happy music vs. sad music vs. pink noise, which acted as an active control condition) over three weeks. Upon awakening each morning, participants rated their subjective sleep quality, current stress, positive and negative affective states, and current life satisfaction. Frequentist and Bayesian multilevel modeling revealed that happy and sad music was both beneficial for subjective sleep quality and next-morning well-being, compared to the pink noise condition; potential nuances are discussed. The current study bears potential practical applications for healthcare professionals and lay individuals.
