Summary

This study looked at whether a special bassinet that rocks and plays white noise (SNOO) helps preterm infants sleep more peacefully compared to a regular bassinet. Twenty premature babies each spent three hours in both types of bassinets, while researchers monitored their sleep stages, heart rate, and oxygen levels. The goal was to see if the SNOO leads to more quiet sleep and better vital signs.
