Abstract

Introduction:

The prevalence of insomnia in Malaysia increased in the past decade. 9 out of 10 Malaysians have insomnia and have one or more sleep problems. Various treatments, such as acoustic stimulation and transcranial infraslow pink-noise stimulation (HD-tIPNS), have been introduced to overcome insomnia.

Conclusion:

Pink noise auditory stimulation shows a significant beneficial impact on sleep quality and sleep efficiency as well as on declarative memory consolidation by enhancing low oscillation, fast spindle activity, and delta power.

Keywords
