Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the bedroom environment on sleep quality, focusing mainly on the ventilation and the thermal environment in the bedroom. Field measurements in the bedrooms were conducted during the hot and humid summer season in Japan. Although poor bedroom ventilation is consistently reported to have a negative impact on sleep quality, some sleep parameters were better in the lower ventilated condition, which is possible that outdoor pollutants had affected sleep quality.
