In addition to the deliberate influences of acoustic input on sleep, one paragraph describes adverse environmental acoustic influences. The same applies to conclusions drawn from other outcome dimensions, consideration of mediating factors, levels of stimulation processing and the impact of inter-individual differences. This recognizes the fact that not all outcome parameters are relevant in every research field. It highlights differences in subjective and objective outcome measures, immediate and whole night effects and short versus long term effects. It thereby focuses on the respective methodological requirements, advantages, disadvantages, potentials and difficulties of acoustic sleep modulation. This paper summarizes the various ways to use acoustic input before sleep or stimulation during sleep. de Faucigny 2, Fribourg, 1700, SwitzerlandTel +41 Email With growing interest in the use of acoustic stimuli in sleep research and acoustic interventions used therapeutically for sleep enhancement, there is a need for an overview of the current lines of research.
