Music and Sleep: A Scientific Perspective presents a comprehensive discussion on the topic of music and sleep. The book brings these disciplines together, providing a solid background, recent developments, and a deeper understanding of their synthesis. Of special interest are 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 society, highlighting the importance of developing low-risk and cost-effective treatments. Healthcare professionals looking to integrate novel information on music and sleep to increase their patients' wellbeing need look no further than this book.
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, since research fields on the neuroscientific mechanisms of music and those of sleep have not traditionally overlapped, this book fills in the gaps.
