Music and sleep involve the listening of music in order to improve sleep quality or improve sleep onset insomnia in adults (for infant use of music and sleep, see lullaby). This process can be either self-prescribed or under the guidance of a music therapist. Music is easy to administer and has no reported side effects. Music can be combined with relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation. Research suggests that the prevalence of music as a sleep aid may be up to 25% in the general population. Research indicates that music may improve subjective sleep quality in adults with sleep problems. Although findings are less consistent with improving sleep quality of 'normal' sleepers, In direct comparisons, music has improved sleep quality greater than audiobooks and has been comparable to sedative-hypnotics. One review of non-pharmacological sleep aids identified music as the only sleep aid with adequate research and another review revealed only exercise & music as non-pharmacological sleep treatments that improved sleep quality.
