Read the article about music and insomnia. Five sentences have been removed. Which sentence (A–F) fits each gap (1–5)? There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Music beats insomnia Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep is essential for our physical and mental well-being. Sleep is so much more than a way of restoring energy after a busy day. It is a state during which the body repairs itself, stores information, and secures experiences in our memories. But in our busy world, full of technological distractions and noise and light pollution, it’s difficult to get that optimum eight hours of quality sleep we all need. We all have the odd sleepless night. (----1----) The condition affects approximately 30% of adults at some point in their lives. The effects of insomnia are unpleasant, ranging from tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and memory loss, to more serious health problems such as diabetes and obesity. It’s not surprising, therefore, that when insomnia hits, many people reach for the medicine cabinet. But this is not an ideal solution because taking regular sleep medication can lead to harmful effects on the body. So, what’s the alternative? Music has long been associated with relaxation. Historical anecdotes name Bach as popular listening material for those suffering from sleep and chronic health problems. (----2----) So, in an attempt find a safer alternative to sleep medication, a team of experts from the University of Sheffield’s Music and Wellbeing research unit collaborated with researchers from the Sleep and Cognition Laboratory at the University of Lincoln and Goldsmiths University of London on an important music-sleep project. The first phase of the project was to survey over 650 people with varying sleep habits. The first question was designed to find out what type of music people listen to when they are nodding off, and why they believe that music improves their quality of sleep. (----3----) Other popular music choices included Mozart, Ed Sheeran, and Cold Play. However, researchers were amazed at the incredibly wide variety of responses. Overall, these included 14 different music genres and the songs of 545 different music artists. The second question asked the participants why they thought that listening to their chosen music helped them sleep. While the obvious answer might have been that it helps them to relax, the responses showed that music fulfilled a range of functions and were different for each person. For some, it slowed racing thoughts, improved focus, and cleared the mind, making the body more ready for sleep. Some participants used music as a distraction from background noise such as traffic, to prevent worrying thoughts, or to fill silence in order to provide a sense of security. (----4----) The researchers concluded that there is no single solution for using music to improve sleep. Each individual needs to choose the music that works for them and use it in the way that works best for them. The researchers are determined to translate that into an alternative musical treatment for insomnia. The question is how? The next phase of the research will involve expanding the survey to cover as many populations and cultures as possible. The music that this future survey finds to be most effective overall will then be tested using advanced sleep recording techniques. (----5----) This could then be combined with advice on sleep strategies to create a complete treatment

package for people who need to restore their sleep patterns. Until this new technology has been developed, however, the best advice is to avoid spending money on the ‘sleep CDs’ that are available to buy and to trust your own musical choices. Sweet dreams! A Interestingly, the most popular musician for assisting sleep turned out to be Bach. B Over 50% of the people in the study reported that this helped them to wind down and

E Others just said they were used to the routine and couldn’t sleep without it. F Many people listen to music before bed or while drifting off to sleep, but the positive effects have been mainly anecdotal and few major studies have been done to date. Reading total 10
