Sleep Extension and Musical Skills data

Prior research demonstrates sleep benefits cognition, motor skills, and memory consolidation. This study examined the impact of sleep extension on key musical skills in musicians. Fifty participants were divided into control and intervention groups. Sleep was tracked using wearable technology. Rhythm, sightreading, memory, psychological flexibility, and sleepiness were assessed at baseline, after 1 day, and after 7 days. The intervention group received 60 to 90 minutes of additional nightly sleep above their baseline measurements. From baseline to final assessment, they exhibited 5.5% greater improvement in rhythm, 7.4% in sightreading, and 33.5% in musical memory compared to controls. These differences highlight sleep's facilitative role in consolidating motor skills, cognitive function and musical memory. Results highlight the substantial benefits of sleep extension for musicians’ performance and wellbeing. Findings suggest extended sleep interventions may optimize musicians’ abilities and success.既往研究表明，睡眠对认知能力、运动技能与记忆巩固均具有积极作用。本研究聚焦睡眠延长对音乐家核心音乐技能的影响，共纳入50名受试者，将其分为对照组与干预组，采用可穿戴技术追踪受试者的睡眠状况，并分别在基线期、干预后第1天及第7天，对受试者的节奏能力、视奏（sightreading）、记忆力、心理灵活性与嗜睡程度开展评估。干预组每晚的睡眠时间较其基线水平额外增加60至90分钟。相较于对照组，从基线至最终评估阶段，干预组的节奏能力提升幅度高出5.5%，视奏能力提升幅度高出7.4%，音乐记忆力提升幅度则高达33.5%。上述结果凸显了睡眠在巩固运动技能、认知功能与音乐记忆力方面的促进作用，证实睡眠延长对音乐家的演奏表现与身心健康均具有显著益处。本研究提示，延长睡眠的干预方案或可有效优化音乐家的音乐能力与职业发展成果。
