2023-2024, Quartile 4
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.
