Sleep is vital for human health and well-being, and sleep disturbances are comorbid to many mental and physiological disorders. Music consistently improves subjective sleep quality, whereas results for objective sleep parameters diverge. These inconsistencies might be due to inter-individual differences.
Music significantly increases the amount of slow-wave sleep (SWS) and increases the low/high frequency power ratio.
We could conclude that listening to music before a nap can improve subjective and objective sleep parameters in lot of people.
Sleep plays an important role for maintaining physical and mental health and is critical for general well-being. However, sleep disturbances are highly common in our society, with increased prevalence in ageing as well as among people at risk of or suffering from a psychiatric disorder. The use of sleep enhancing medicine is problematic, as its effectiveness decreases across time and may lead to addiction. Consequently, researchers need to empirically validate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological and easy to implement tools to support healthy sleep.

Listening to music is a widely used tool to improve sleep. In an online survey in a general population 62% (out of n = 651 respondents) stated to have at least once used music to help them sleep.
Positive effects of listening to music on subjectively evaluated sleep were found in toddlers when listening throughout the nap-time, preschool children and young adults listening 45 minutes at nap-time and/or bedtime.
