Quality sleep is becoming increasingly difficult because of climate change, technology, and the culture of work that requires continued availability.
Sleep is essential to health, helping the body repair tissue, the brain eliminate waste, and the organism consolidate memories.
According to researchers, high temperatures, particularly during the night, make it difficult to cool the body and delay falling asleep, causing frequent wakes.

Meanwhile, traffic noises, pollution and artificial lighting in cities also affect the quality of rest.
The problem does not affect everyone equally.
People living in poorly populated or isolated dwellings as well as those who are unable to afford environmental refreshment devices may find it more difficult to sleep in proper conditions.
Another concern is the use of intelligent devices and sleeping apps.
While they can help identify potential problems, their results are not always accurate and can cause anxiety.
Researchers also warn of the rhesleepmaxing trend, which promotes efforts to achieve perfect sleep through strict routines and methods that do not always have scientific support.
Worktimes also have a significant effect, especially on those who work at night or on shifts.
According to the report, about 21 percent of European employees work in shifts, while working from house and overtime makes it harder to separate professional life from personal.
For this reason researchers seek broader measures from governments, health institutions and employers, including more predictable times, better resttime protection, and more equal access to sleep disorders.
According to them, improving sleep depends not only on personal habits but also on the conditions in which people live and work. /Telegraphy/
