Abstract;

This study investigates the relationship between environmental conditions, specifically temperature and humidity, and sleep quality. The focus lies on deep sleep; both its percentage and duration. Data was collected from five participants over a period of several weeks, measuring heart rate, deep sleep percentage, average temperature and humidity levels. Regression analyses revealed varied associations between these variables. Temperature and heart rate showed a positive correlation, while deep sleep percentage exhibited a more complex relationship with both temperature and humidity. Higher temperatures and lower humidity were generally associated with increased deep sleep duration, though the relationship was not strictly linear. Additionally, Z-score analysis indicated that variations in temperature and humidity are linked with fluctuations in deep sleep metrics, suggesting that both factors jointly influence sleep quality.
This study highlights the need to consider multiple environmental factors when analyzing sleep patterns and provides a basis for further research into the interactive effects of temperature and humidity on sleep.
