Abstract：Objective To explore the arousal of people with high stress-related sleep vulnerability and the effect of music intervention on hyperarousal.Methods A total of 33 healthy subjects from China Rehabilitation Research Center were enrolled in this study.Based on the median value (17 score) of Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test-Chinese Version (FIRST-C),they were divided into 2 groups:16 cases of high stress-related sleep vulnerability and 17 cases of low stress-related sheep vulnerability.Multiparameter physiological indexes monitoring system of Thought Technology Ltd.was used to gather physiological indicators [blood volume pulse (BVP),skin temperature,skin conduction,respiration rate,respiration amplitude and heart rate],and brain wave [δ wave,θ wave,low α wave and high α wave,α wave,sensory-motor rhythm (SMR),low β wave and high β wave].Results Compared with low vulnerability subjects,high vulnerability subjects had significantly higher skin conduction (P =0.003,0.001),amplitude of SMR (P =0.015.0.031) and low β wave (P =0.000,0.001) before and after treatment,while had significantly increased high β wave after treatment (P =0.004).After treatment,all subjects had significantly reduced BVP (P =0.000),increased skin temperature (P =0.000),increased respiration rate (P =0.008) and reduced heart rate (P =0.000).Compared with before treatment,high vulnerability subjects had significantly reduced skin conduction (P =0.001),respiratory amplitude (P =0.032),high α wave (P =0.017) and low β wave (P =0.013) after treatment.Compared with before treatment,low vulnerability subjects had significantly reduced skin conduction (P =0.039),low α wave (P =0.035),high α wavc (P =0.031),α wave (P =0.044) and low β wave (P =0.015) after treatment.Conclusions Both physiological and cortical hyperarousal are presented in people with high stress-related sleep vulnerability in resting state.Music intervention can improve the hyperarousal of high vulnerability people,especially their physiological indicators.It can be used as a health management technique to prevent people with high stress-related sleep vulnerability from developing into chronic insomnia.
