“…The number of short SWS episodes ranging from 0.5-5 min was decreased by body pillow use, although there was no difference in the total duration of SWS between the 2 trials. Differences in the number of short SWS episodes were also observed when the effects of 2 mattress types on sleep were assessed [21]. Although, the mechanism responsible for the suppression of SWS episode fragmentation by body pillow use remains to be elucidated, analysis of the continuity of SWS episodes may provide greater insight into the quality of sleep.…”

Background and ObjectiveaaPatients with position-dependent obstructive sleep apnea have a > 2-fold higher apnea-hypopnea index when sleeping in a supine position compared with a nonsupine position. We investigated the effect of body pillow use on sleeping body position and sleep architecture in healthy young adults. MethodsaaIn experiment 1, we evaluated the body pressure distribution with or without body pillow use in 8 healthy young adults [age, 36.5 ± 13.0 years; body mass index (BMI); 20.6 ± 1.2 kg/ m 2 ]. In experiment 2, we performed a randomized-crossover intervention study to evaluate the effects of body pillow use on sleeping position and sleep architecture in 10 healthy young adults (age, 24.3 ± 7.8 years; BMI, 21.4 ± 1.7 kg/m 2 ). Sleep architecture was characterized by polysomnography, and body positions were monitored using a sensor. Subjective sleep quality was evaluated with the Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi sleep inventory, middle age and aged version. ResultsaaIn experiment 1, body pillow use significantly reduced mean body pressure on the shoulder, hip, and whole body. In experiment 2, mean time spent in the supine, lateral, and prone body positions did not differ significantly between the 2 trials. Body pillow use, however, significantly extended the sustained time spent in the lateral body position compared with the control trial. Subjective sleep quality and sleep architecture did not differ significantly between the 2 trials, but body pillow use decreased the number of short (30 s) slow-wave sleep episodes. ConclusionsaaSleeping with a body pillow effectively extends sustained time in a lateral sleeping position and prevents segmentation of slow-wave sleep episodes.

“…It has been demonstrated that insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality are associated with physical, physiological, and psychological impairments [1]. The sleep environment, including sleepwear, bedding, and the mattress, are considered factors conducive to better sleep quality [2][3][4][5].…”

Objective: This preliminary study examined whether sleepwear affected sleep parameters using nocturnal polysomnography (nPSG) and self-reported questionnaire in healthy adults. Methods: Fourteen participants were recruited (nine females and five males; mean age, 29.43±8.58 years). nPSG was conducted for three consecutive nights, including the adaptation night, and self-reported questionnaires about sleepwear and sleep parameters were completed. On the second and third nights after the adaption night, participants were randomly assigned to a group wearing the DPV576 experimental sleepwear (ES) on the first night with the control sleepwear (CS) worn the following night, or a group wearing the two types of sleepwear in the reverse order. The objective and subjective sleep parameters for each night were compared using the paired t-test. Results: Objective sleep variables were not significantly different between the two types of sleepwear. However, total sleep time (TST) on nPSG tended to be higher when participants wore the ES than the CS (p=0.06) in the results of nine who reported relatively high sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index <5). When wearing the ES all participants reported more frequent dream (p=0.03), and less discomfort caused by sleepwear while lying down and moving in bed (i.e., tossing and turning), than the CS (p=0.04). Conclusion: These results suggest that sleepwear type might affect objective sleep parameters (e.g., TST on nPSG) and be associated with changes in subjective sleep measures, such as the frequency of dreams and the discomfort caused by tossing and turning.
