Effects of Music Therapy on Sleeping for High School Students

Abstract

High school students generally suffer from insomnia due to stress. Insomnia is one of the leading causes of depression, heart disease, and other diseases, and teenagers are at a higher risk of developing it due to hectic school schedules and the complex relationship between students and teachers. Music therapy is a promising treatment for insomnia; it can alleviate symptoms by reducing stress and improving memory. In order to measure the effect of music therapy on the sleep of high school students, we first search for some previous experiments and see the results. We will then conduct a questionnaire survey and divide 60 high school students into groups based on the time they spent listening to music and their stress index in the SDS test. They were then tested for the effects of the therapy on sleep by giving them music therapy in the experiment. The previous experiments show that music therapy can help people cure insomnia. The result indicates that after doing 6 days of music therapy, high school students sleeping performance has shown an improving trend and their mood is also better.
