Summary

This study plans to explore whether specially chosen relaxing music can help improve sleep, reduce stress, and prevent burnout in healthcare workers, many of whom are often sleep-deprived. The researchers will measure changes in brain activity, sleep patterns, and self-reported stress levels before, during, and after participants listen to this music. The novel approach includes using advanced brain scanning technology, sleep monitoring devices, and carefully selected music. Ultimately, the aim is to create a scientifically backed music intervention that can be used widely to help healthcare providers get better sleep and manage stress, potentially reducing burnout rates.

Music Therapy, prescribed

All music pieces selected for the prescribed intervention contain compositional elements of relaxation analyzed, prepared, and recorded by professional concert artists and a Grammy-nominated composer. The compositional elements included Accentuation, Articulation, Dynamic Range, Familiarity, Interpretive Expertise, Melodic Shape, Meter, Recording Quality, Repetition, Register, Rubato, Tempo, Texture, Timbre, Transition, and Tonality. These 15 repertoire-selecting parameters were used to choose the prescribed music play list for this study. Music used for the study was downloaded from a password-protected Google Drive accessible to the study participants assigned to the "prescribed music" intervention group.
