Aim: Sleep is vital to premature infants ' physical, social and emotional development. The significance of sleep duration, efficiency, and function in premature infants regarding growth development, behavior and neurological development has been increasing. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental design with three groups. Premature infants at 28 -37 weeks of gestation who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of S , anl & imath;urfa Mehmet Akif I (center dot) nan Training and Research Hospital Haliliye Annex Building were the research population. The sample of the present study consisted of 120 premature infants in the massage therapy group (40), white noise group (40), and control group (40). Results: The sleep duration and sleep efficiency of the premature infants in the massage group increased compared to before the application, whereas the number of awakenings and WASO values decreased. The sleep duration of premature infants in the massaged group increased by some five hours. In the white noise group, the sleep duration increased by about two hours than the pre-treatment, and there was an increase in sleep efficiency. White noise application provided a significant decrease in the number of awakenings and WASO values in premature infants. Conclusion: In this experimental study, which was designed with three groups, it was revealed that massage and white noise application in premature infants were significant non -pharmacological methods to increase sleep duration and sleep efficiency. It was concluded that massage therapy and white noise application is one of the considerable interventions regarding sleep duration, efficiency and functions in premature infants who left the intrauterine period early.
