Annotation
This article explores the Uzbek folk lullaby (alla) as a cultural, psychological, and physiological phenomenon that transcends its traditional role as a song for children. Drawing upon ethnomusicological, linguistic, and psychological perspectives, it investigates how lullabies serve as a means of emotional regulation, contribute to the formation of a stable mental state, and influence the prevention and treatment of sleep apathy — a condition characterized by emotional detachment, chronic fatigue, and disturbed sleep cycles. The study emphasizes the therapeutic potential of Uzbek lullabies in modern contexts of psychological stress and insomnia.
