The Effect of Polyphonic Lullaby and Pish Pish Sound on Sleep Transition and Sleep Duration in Newborns
Sponsor: Sevgi Beyazgül
Summary
Sleep is the cornerstone of early development. Adequate sleep in children is important for proper growth, development and the child's health. Sleep is a dynamic process that develops and matures rapidly, especially in the first few years of life, from infancy to early adolescence. Daily sleep duration decreases with age, starting from the newborn period. At birth, babies show a sleep process that is compatible with their mothers' circadian rhythm. Newborns usually wake up in line with their nutritional needs and have short transitional sleep periods. At approximately 10-12 weeks of age, the first signs of circadian rhythm begin to develop and become apparent with increased sleep during the night. It has been reported that music positively affects mother-infant bonding, reduces babies' stress and creates positive physiological and behavioral changes. In a study examining mothers' views and practices on singing lullabies, it was seen that 87.6% of mothers said that singing lullabies soothes their children and prepares them for sleep, 88.3% prefer to sing lullabies before going to sleep while preparing their children for sleep, and 66.2% sing lullabies. Therefore, it is thought that the research will fill this gap in newborns.

Polyphonic Lullaby Group
After discharge, mothers will be asked to play the Dandini Dandini Dastana lullaby by vocal artist Mircan Kaya, which they downloaded from the YouTube application, and listen to it from a distance of one meter (away from the baby's head to minimize radioactive effects) and by switching the phone to airplane mode just before sleep. In the event of active sleep (signs of sleep transition such as slowing down muscle movements and closing eyes), the polyphonic lullaby volume will be gradually reduced. The polyphonic lullaby will be played at a volume level of 55 decibels for the first 5 minutes after falling asleep, then reduced to 25 decibels and then turned off. In order to reduce the effects of confounding factors, mothers in the polyphonic lullaby group who use another assistive method (breastfeeding/rocking to sleep) to put their babies to sleep will be excluded from the study.
Pish Pish Sound Group
After discharge, mothers will be asked to turn on the Piş Piş sound downloaded from the YouTube application and listen to it from a distance of one meter (away from the baby's head to minimize radioactive effects) and by turning the phone to airplane mode just before sleep. In case of active sleep (signs of sleep transition such as slowing down muscle movements and closing eyes), the piş piş sound will be gradually reduced. The polyphonic lullaby played will be at a volume level of 55 decibels for the first 5 minutes after falling asleep, then reduced to 25 decibels and then turned off. In order to reduce the effect of confounding factors, mothers in the piş piş sound group who use another assistive method (breastfeeding/rocking to sleep) to put their babies to sleep will be excluded from the scope of the research.
