Feasibility Study on Art Therapy Methods for Sleep Disorder Groups Based on Artificial Intelligence Technology
Abstract
With the rapid development of modern society and the accelerated pace of life, sleep disorders have become a significant issue affecting people’s quality of life. Numerous studies indicate that art therapy, as a non-pharmacological treatment, can externalize the subconscious through creative activities, raising it to a conscious level, thus improving the psychological state and sleep quality of individuals with sleep disorders. However, traditional art therapy methods still face certain limitations, often failing to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. The fast-growing field of artificial intelligence (AI), with advances in intelligent algorithms and big data analytics, offers new possibilities for the evolution of art therapy, potentially enhancing its effectiveness. This paper aims to explore the feasibility of integrating AI technology into art therapy for individuals with sleep disorders. By examining applications in mandala painting, intelligent wearable devices, and dream visualization, this study proposes innovative therapeutic approaches that combine traditional art therapy with modern AI technology to provide more efficient and personalized therapeutic solutions for those suffering from sleep disorders.
