Sponsor's own description

Older adults have a high prevalence of sleep disturbances, which negatively and severely impact their health and quality of life. Research indicated that 43% elderly outpatients in Taiwan have used benzodiazepine, which collectively led to great medical expenditure. Non-pharmacological treatments are highly recommended as first priority for sleep disturbance in practice. Music interventions have been reported to modulate the sympathetic nervous system and to improve the elderly's sleeping performance. Proprioceptive interventions can also activate the parasympathetic nervous system, providing calming effects and significantly reducing anxiety, hyperactivity and agitation in various populations. However, the effects of these intervention on the sleep disturbances in the elderly remain unclear. The research purpose is to investigate the effects of two sensory activities that are easily executed in everyday life - auditory (e.g. listening to the music before sleeping) and proprioceptive (e.g. joint compression exercises) interventions on improving the sleep performance of the elderly. Subjective sleeping quality assessment (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index \& Insomnia Severity Index) and objective physiological records measured by actigraphy are used as outcome measures.
