Update: 2024-06-24
Description
Lately, much seems to be made about the relationship between air quality and sleep. Air purification systems have jumped on the sleep bandwagon as have good old fashioned house plants. But is there any evidence supporting this connection? In this episode we will:
- Look at research connecting air quality and sleep quality among various populations
- Evaluate the research linking air quality measures and sleep metrics in different countries
- List the possible mechanisms through which air quality might affect sleep
- Discuss some prospective studies aiming to create different air quality sleeping environments and determine how they do or don't affect sleep and associated variables
- Touch upon the link between air quality and general performance
- Expand upon the role indoor plants play in relationship to an individual's sleep and mood
- Answer the questions as to whether or not plants can effectively filter indoor air quality in a meaningful way
