Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy of Wholetones 2Sleep music compared with classical music on sleep quality, anxiety, stress, fatigue, mood, and productivity in adults experiencing insomnia symptoms.
Single-blind, randomized, controlled crossover pilot trial including 38 adults (mean age = 46.6 years).
Participants listened to Wholetones 2Sleep music or classical music for 10 days, followed by a 4-day washout period, and then crossed over to the alternate music condition for 10 days.
Outcomes were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index alongside standardized psychological measures.
Both music interventions elicited statistically significant improvements in sleep quality and psychological outcomes (p < 0.05).
Interventions effectively enhanced daytime mood and productivity while reducing reported fatigue, anxiety, and stress levels.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: 2Sleep Music (WM) and Classical Music (CM) on sleep quality, anxiety/stress, fatigue, productivity, and mood. METHODS: Following baseline assessments, 38 adults (M age = 46.6 years) were randomized to either WM or CM conditions for 10 days and then the alternative music for 10 days after a 4 day "wash-out". The outcomes were sleep quality (i.e., Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and psychological measures. CONCLUSION: WM and CM provides a simple, noninvasive, and non-pharmacological intervention to promote sleep quality resulting in improved daytime mood, fatigue, productivity, and anxiety/stress.
