A good night’s sleep is pivotal for human physical and emotional health, overall wellbeing and good quality of life. Sleep and Environment provides an up-to-date review of the various environmental factors that influence sleep and wakefulness. The book first discusses the neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and neuroendocrinology of sleep. The editors explore how internal and external environments affect sleep, such as light, noise, temperature and electronic use. Also discussed are social environments such as socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors. The book provides recommendations on preserving sleep environments, sleep hygiene principles, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological management to improve sleep.
