Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the sleep environment, sleep quality and to reveal the relationship between sleep environment and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. The subjects of this study are twenty four women who live in an apartment in Seoul. We conducted pre-sleep questionnaire and post-sleep questionnaire. We measured equivalent noise level, illumination, air temperature, relative humidity, MRT, CO2 concentration, and AHI of each subject in their bedrooms. In case of both winter and spring, most subjects are exposed to high CO2 concentration during sleep. In case of winter, relative humidity of bedrooms is significantly low, and in case of spring, illumination of bedrooms is higher than winter. However, there are no significant correlation between sleep environment and sleep quality according to seasonal change.
