Associations of bedroom PM_2.5, CO₂, temperature, humidity, and noise with sleep: An observational actigraphy study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Climate change and urbanization increasingly cause extreme conditions hazardous to health. The bedroom environment plays a key role for high-quality sleep. Studies objectively assessing multiple descriptors of the bedroom environment as well as sleep are scarce.

Methods

Particulate matter with a particle size <2.5 µm (PM_2.5), temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO₂), barometric pressure, and noise levels were continuously measured for 14 consecutive days in the bedroom of 62 participants (62.9% female, mean ± SD age: 47.7 ± 13.2 years) who wore a wrist actigraph and completed daily morning surveys and sleep logs.

Results

In a hierarchical mixed effect model that included all environmental variables and adjusted for elapsed sleep time
