In a new review study from National Cheng Kung University, researchers found that listening to music before going to be can improve sleep quality among older adults.
The team found older adults who listened to music experienced much better sleep quality than those who did not listen to music.
Also, older adults who listened to sedative music experienced a greater improvement in sleep quality than those who listened to more rhythmic music.
Furthermore, listening to music for longer than four weeks was especially effective at improving sleep quality.
The findings suggest that music intervention is an effective strategy and is easy to administer by a caregiver or healthcare worker.
Music therapy might be the first line of therapy to recommend in older adults with sleep disturbances, which would reduce the need for dependence on sedatives and sleeping medication.
