Methods :The research design used quasi experimental with pretest control group design . The research was conducted at Abdul Moeloek Hospital (RSUAM) Bandar Lampung. The population in this study were all LBW infants who were treated in the Perinatology Room of the General Hospital. Sampling technique using probability sampling. The sample size was determined using the two-mean difference hypothesis test formula, obtained as many as 30 samples.

Results : showed that there was a difference in the increase in sleep duration on days I, 2, 3 and 4 in the intervention group (60 minutes of murottal therapy and control (30 minutes of morottal therapy).
