“…A recent study showed that household air pollution due to solid fuel combustion was associated with poor sleep among the elderly [22]. Furthermore, although we did not observe any association between indoor conditions and chronotype in our study, indoor air quality (such as odour, airflow, and improper ventilation) was also found to be associated with poor sleep quality and increased risk of sleep apnoea [14][15][16][17]. Reducing the use of solid fuel was observed to improve respiratory and sleep symptoms in children [23].…”

“…Living in rural areas compared to urban areas is associated with higher morningness [13]. Recent evidence suggests that residential proximity to industry, exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS), inappropriate indoor environment, and use of biomass cooking fuel were associated with sleep disturbance [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Biomass cooking fuel is a well-known risk factor for several chronic respiratory and cardiac diseases [24,25].…”

Role of Living Conditions and Socioenvironmental Factors on Chronotype in Adolescents

et al. 2021

An individual’s chronotype, defined as the preference for rest and activity at different times of the day, is linked to several physiological and psychological outcomes. Research on environmental determinants of chronotype has focussed mostly on geographic location, whereas other socioenvironmental determinants have been neglected. We aimed to investigate the association between other previously unrecognized socioenvironmental factors and chronotypes in adolescents. We analysed data of 1916 Bengali adolescents (aged between 13–14 years, 47% girls). Chronotype was determined by the reduced morningness–eveningness questionnaire (rMEQ), and socioenvironmental factors were identified through a structured questionnaire. Associations were analysed using multinomial logistic regression models. Our findings demonstrated that living in urban areas, the presence of a smoker at home, and higher parental education were associated with a higher evening activity (eveningness), while the use of biomass cooking media (compared to liquefied petroleum gas) and assisting parents in farming were associated with higher morningness in adolescents. This is the first study to identify the association between previously unrecognized socioenvironmental factors and chronotypes delineating the interaction between environment and sleep in adolescents and might help the parents to understand the importance of a proper sleep-activity rhythm of their kids through a comprehensive understanding of their surrounding environment and other factors.

“…However, adherence was worst in summer in this study. Researchers have suggested that a summertime increase in the residual respiratory disturbance index due to air pollution (i.e., elevated particle pollution) directly influences upper-airway inflammatory responses, with increases in upper-airway resistance and collapsibility [25,26]. However, this factor is not applicable to the present study, which was conducted in a region with no air pollution problem.…”

“… 21 Sleep deprivation, in turn can increased central sympathetic outflow, 39 which over time can increase blood pressure and induce insulin resistance. 40 Dry air can exacerbate snoring 41 ; in middle-aged men snoring is common, as is obstructive sleep apnea, which can trigger nocturnal CVD events. 42…”

BackgroundIn recent summers, some populous mid-latitude to high-latitude regions have experienced greater heat intensity, more at night than by day. Such warming has been associated with increased cause-specific adult mortality. Sex-specific and age-specific associations between summer nocturnal surface air temperatures (SAT) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths have yet to be established.MethodsA monthly time series analysis (June–July, 2001–2015) was performed on sex-specific CVD deaths in England and Wales of adults aged 60–64 and 65–69 years. Using negative binomial regression with autocorrelative residuals, associations between summer (June–July) nocturnal SAT anomalies (primary exposure) and CVD death rates (outcome) were computed, controlling for key covariates. To explore external validity, similar associations with respect to CVD death in King County, Washington, USA, also were calculated, but only for men aged 60–64 and 65–69 years. Results are reported as incidence rate ratios.ResultsFrom 2001 to 2015, within these specific cohorts, 39 912 CVD deaths (68.9% men) were recorded in England and Wales and 488 deaths in King County. In England and Wales, after controlling for covariates, a 1°C rise in anomalous summer nocturnal SAT associated significantly with a 3.1% (95% CI 0.3% to 5.9%) increased risk of CVD mortality among men aged 60–64, but not older men or either women age groups. In King County, after controlling for covariates, a 1°C rise associated significantly with a 4.8% (95% CI 1.7% to 8.1%) increased risk of CVD mortality among those <65 years but not older men.ConclusionIn two mid-latitude regions, warmer summer nights are accompanied by an increased risk of death from CVD among men aged 60–64 years.

Effects of Bedroom Environmental Conditions on the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract: Elevation of PM concentration is significantly associated with increased OSA severity. Our findings suggest that reduction in exposure to particulate matter and suitable bedroom environments may lessen the severity of OSA and promote good sleep.
