Abstract
Insomnia is a disorder that affects many people worldwide, but more commonly women. It is a
sleep disorder that makes it difficult for the individual to get proper sleep. The lack of proper
sleep can cause short-term insomnia and without the proper treatment or preventatives, it can
progress into chronic insomnia. An intervention that has been researched to help insomnia is the
use of music at bedtime, this research was conducted by Jespersen and his fellow researchers in
2019 in the article A Randomized Controlled Trial of Bedtime Music for Insomnia Disorder.
Their research is being furthered by focusing on the subgroup of women with short-term
insomnia, and if chronic insomnia can be prevented by using the intervention of bedtime music.
