Thermal Comfort in Sleeping Environments
Sleep thermal environments could affect human thermal regulation and inextricably link with sleep quality. Numerous researches have been conducted to explore the effects of the thermal environment on sleep quality under field conditions or psychrometric chamber conditions. In recent years, in order to meet the personalized sleep thermal environment and improve sleep quality, personalized sleeping temperature adjustment systems become hot topics. In this chapter, firstly, the reasons why thermal environments affect sleep regulation are described. Based on this, two kinds of personalized sleeping temperature adjustment methods are provided to ensure good sleep quality: the body cooling method and the body warming method. These two methods are applicable to different sleep thermal environments. Both of them achieve an elevation of human thermal comfort during sleep. At the same time, the building energy consumption is significantly reduced. Moreover, the disadvantages of each method are listed. Finally, future trends in personalized sleeping temperature adjustment systems development and research have been discussed.
