Abstract
Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a sensory integration intervention to improve sleep quality in adults. Methods : The subjects of the study were three sleepless adults with sensory defensiveness. This study applied a multiple baseline design out of a single-subject study, with the process comprising 4 basic lines, 7 basic lines, and 14 basic lines. The intervention was conducted 3 times per week for a total of 12 times. Overall sleep time, sleep latency, and the number of times that participants awoke at night were measured during every session. Sleep quality, sensory integration capabilities (including sensory defensiveness), and sleep satisfaction were measured before and after treatment. Results : A visual analysis of total sleep time, sleep latency, and number of waking times during the night as measured daily after the sensory integration intervention was applied showed no noticeable improvement in any of the subjects. Conclusion : This study is meaningful in that it applied a sensory integration intervention to adults and proposed sensory integration therapy as a new method of intervention to treat sleep disorders.
