“…Interestingly, Tsai, Kuo, Lee, and Yang (2015) showed that slow-paced breathing (at a frequency of 0.1 Hz) can lead to increases in CVC as well, which improved sleep quality among individuals with insomnia. Furthermore, increasing physical exercise over a period of 6 months, which is very likely to increase CVC, has also been shown to have positive effects on sleep quality and depression as well as mood in general (Hartescu, Morgan, & Stevinson, 2015; Passos et al, 2011). The present study suggests that such efforts would be especially important in individuals with low resting CVC and low sleep quality.…”

Lower cardiac vagal control (CVC) has been linked to greater depression. However, this link has not been consistently demonstrated, suggesting the presence of key moderators. Sleep plausibly is one such factor. Therefore, we investigated whether sleep quality moderates the link between CVC (quantified by high-frequency heart rate variability, HF-HRV) and depressive symptoms (assessed using established questionnaires) in 29 healthy women. Results revealed a significant interaction between HF-HRV and sleep quality in predicting depressive symptoms: participants with lower HF-HRV reported elevated depressive symptoms only when sleep quality was also low. In contrast, HF-HRV was not associated with depressive symptoms when sleep quality was high, suggesting a protective function of high sleep quality in the context of lower CVC.

“…48 There are multiple improvements resulting from PR in patients with COPD, including physiological and psychological benefits. Although the exact mechanisms of improvement of sleep quality after PR are not fully understood, exercise training could be an effective nonpharmacologic treatment for patients with COPD according to this study.…”

After PR, the PSQI score decreased from 9.41 ؎ 4.33 to 7.82 ؎ 3.90 (P < .001). The number of subjects with a PSQI score > 5 also decreased (85.3-64.7%, P ‫؍‬ .006). There were significant improvements in HRQOL (SGRQ, P ‫؍‬ .003), exercise capacity (peak oxygen uptake, P < .001; and work rate, P < .001), dyspnea score (P < .001), and respiratory muscle strength (inspiratory muscle strength, P ‫؍‬ .005; and expiratory muscle strength, P ‫؍‬ .004) after PR. There were no significant changes in pulmonary function test results (FEV 1 , P ‫؍‬ .77; FVC, P ‫؍‬ .90; FEV 1 /FVC, P ‫؍‬ .90). CONCLUSIONS: PR results in significant improvement in sleep quality, along with concurrent improvements in HRQOL and exercise capacity. PR is an effective nonpharmacologic treatment to improve sleep quality in patients with COPD and should be part of their clinical management.

“…Exercise was recommended as a treatment to improve sleep in a recent review about the reciprocal relationship between exercise and sleep (Chennaoui et al, 2015). Longitudinal intervention studies showed an improvement in sleep quality (Passos et al, 2011;Reid et al, 2010) and duration (Youngstedt et al, 1997) due to physical activity interventions (i.e., exercise for several months 3 times a week) in adults with and also without insomnia. The suggestion that the effect of physical activity on sleep is longspun instead of short-term (Holfeld & Ruthig, 2014;Lambiase, Gabriel, Kuller, & Matthews, 2013), could be an explanation for this discrepancy.…”
