Benefits of quality sleep
Good and complete sleep strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of obesity and chronic diseases.
Quality sleep can improve cognitive functions the next day, such as concentration, reaction time and comprehension, and reduce the risk of occupational injuries.
A study by Xiaojun Fan, Chenxi Liao, Mariya P. Bivolarova, Chandra Sekhar, and others published in the journal Building and Environment shows that poor indoor air quality negatively impacts sleep quality.
Air freshness ratings improved when doors were opened, the improvement was more noticeable when windows were opened, and the air was rated as fresher.
Changes in air quality and odor intensity were noted in all cases throughout the day, regardless of the door condition.
Research has shown that ventilating your bedroom with clean outside air, which improves indoor air quality, is an important factor in getting good, sound sleep.
