Brief Summary

Background: This study explored the therapeutic impact of ASMR on sleep problems in high school students. Methods: The study involved sixty participants, divided evenly into four groups: three intervention groups (A, B, C) and one control group. For five consecutive days, the intervention groups engaged in pre-sleep ASMR listening sessions lasting 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. Sleep quality was evaluated using mobile application tools and the subjective Sleep Quality Scale.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess sleep quality and disturbances over a one-month period. It consists of 19 questions covering various aspects of sleep, such as sleep duration, latency, efficiency, and disturbances. The responses are used to calculate a global score, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. It\'s commonly used in clinical and research settings to evaluate sleep-related issues and their impact on overall health.
