Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- This study will include patients admitted to the GAU at St. Mary's hospital in Montréal over the six-month study period (March to August 2022). As many of the patients admitted to the GAU have major neurocognitive disorder (MNCD), the investigators will include them in our study (MNCD of any stage, including Alzheimer's disease). Furthermore, the investigators will include patients who take medications for sleep in our study, and they will be randomized into the 3 groups like all the other participants.
- The patients' baseline characteristics will be noted upon entry into the study: admitting diagnosis, demographics (age, sex), whether they have MNCD, and their music sophistication. Patients' music sophistication will be evaluated using the General Musical Sophistication Subscale (GMSS) which is embedded within the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index (Gold-MSI). Furthermore, as the investigators will be including patients who use medications for sleep in our study, the investigators will note what type of medication(s) the participants are taking. Specifically, the investigators will categorize the medications in the following categories: benzodiazepines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, melatonin or other; and the investigators will note if the indication is specifically for sleep or not.
Exclusion
- Patients who already listen to music or non-musical sounds as part of their sleep routine.
- Patients with medical instability which limits their ability to participate in the study (determined by the patient's treating physician).
- Patients who have a diagnosis of a sleep disorder including obstructive sleep apnea and REM sleep behaviour disorder.
- Patients who are unable to communicate in English or French.
- Patients with behavioural issues that limit their participation in the study; specifically, those that have agitation or hyperactivity that limits their compliance with the intervention as can be seen in cases of severe BPSD (Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia) or hyperactive delirium.
- Patients with severe hearing impairment, specifically those for whom their hearing impairment affects their ability to communicate their consent for this study and to listen to music.
