Abstract:
Climate change is elevating nighttime and daytime temperatures worldwide, affecting a broad continuum of behavioral and health outcomes. Disturbed sleep is a plausible pathway linking rising ambient temperatures with several observed adverse human responses shown to increase during hot weather. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature investigating the relationship between ambient temperature and valid sleep outcomes measured in real-world settings, globally. We show that higher outdoor or indoor temperatures are generally associated with degraded sleep quality and quantity worldwide. The negative effect of heat persists across sleep measures, and is stronger during the hottest months and days, in vulnerable populations, and the warmest regions. Although we identify opportunities to strengthen the state of the science, limited evidence of fast sleep adaptation to heat suggests rising temperatures induced by climate change and urbanization pose a planetary threat to human sleep, and therefore health, performance, and wellbeing.
摘要:
气候变化正在提高全球夜间和白天的温度,影响广泛的行为和健康结果。睡眠紊乱是一种合理的途径,将环境温度升高与一些观察到的人类不良反应联系在一起,在炎热的天气中表现出增加。本系统综述旨在全面概述研究环境温度与在现实环境中测量的有效睡眠结果之间的关系的文献。全球。我们表明,较高的室外或室内温度通常与全球睡眠质量和数量下降有关。热量的负面影响在睡眠测量中持续存在,在最热的月份和日子里更强,在弱势群体中,和最温暖的地区。尽管我们发现了加强科学状态的机会,有限的证据表明,快速睡眠适应热量表明,气候变化和城市化导致的气温上升对人类睡眠构成了威胁。因此健康,性能,和幸福。
