Subjects were 14 females aged 40s to 70s, and methods included listening to music during going to sleep using by sound sleep support sound player “Lullaby reverberation (Komoriuta-no-Hibiki)”, which was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in 0,4,8 weeks. Thirteen cases showed decreased points of PQSI. Time to sleep and sleep duration were almost the same.
