Abstract:

Nighttime environmental noise (EN) exposure disturbs sleep and increases morbidity and mortality. Affordable and effective countermeasures are needed, but rigorous research is scarce. This study investigates the efficacy of pink noise (PN) and earplugs for mitigating the effects of intermittent EN on sleep.
