Music and Sleep
presents a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion on the topic of music and sleep.
Music is widely used as sleep aid, but the exact neural mechanisms of the sleep-enhancing function of music are not fully clear.
New research output includes exciting breakthroughs, hypotheses, and discoveries in both of these areas.
However, the research fields on the neuroscientific mechanisms of music and those of sleep have not traditionally overlapped.
Music and Sleep brings these two disciplines closer together, providing a solid background in both fields and covering recent developments to inspire future research while also fostering a deeper understanding of their synthesis.
Of special interest are the technical advances that have made sleep recordings, music manipulation and sleep stimulation more accessible in recent years.
Notably, sleep disturbances are an increasing problem in our societies, highlighting the importance of developing low-risk and cost-effective treatment opportunities.
Healthcare professionals looking to integrate novel information on music and sleep to increase their patients' wellbeing need look no further than this book.
