Abstract |
This study investigated the influence of the indoor CO2concentration level on sleep quality by polysomnography(PSG). One healthy female subject was selected among several subjects based on RI(Risk Indicator) value and BMI(Body Mass Index) value to evaluate judging the risk level of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea. To get the impact of the indoor carbon dioxide concentration to sleep quality, both CO2concentration levels were set up using ventilating form with 700~800 ppm and 2000~3000 ppm. Other environments were controlled in the comfortable sleep scope by previous researches. To measure the sleep quality, measurements have carried on polysomnography(PSG). In conclusion, it have shown that high carbon dioxide concentration leads arousal effect about central nervous system and to sustaining dreams and excited condition by bring about REM sleep split phenomenon. |
