身體活動與睡眠困擾之文獻探討

睡眠對身體健康與幸福感是很重要的，研究發現睡眠問題與糖尿病、心血管疾病，憂鬱症，認知功能及生活品質等有相關性存在。身體活動被認為對睡眠有所正面的效果。然而，研究證據大部分來自小樣本的介入實驗研究，或是自陳式睡眠的測量方式。目前國內還沒有較系統性的回顧文章探討身體活動與睡眠的關係，本研究擬探討過去有關身體活動與睡眠困擾之研究，包括過去流行病學研究以及實驗介入研究等有關身體活動與睡眠困擾之文章，探討過去文獻並歸納彙整，提供更清楚的藍圖，了解身體活動與睡眠困擾之影響；另外，也針對身體活動與睡眠領域未來的研究方向提出討論。 Sleep is important for health and well-being. Research has shown that sleep problems are associated with diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, depression, cognitive function, and quality of life et al.. Physical activity is believed to have beneficial effects on sleep. However, the evidence largely comes from small intervention samples or self-reports of sleep measures. Currently, there is no systematic review to explore the relationship between physical activity and sleep in Taiwan. This paper reviews preceding articles on the association between physical activity and sleep, including previous epidemiological studies and interventional studies. It will provide a clearer look on the effects of physical activity on sleep from the literature. The future directions for research in this field will also be discussed.
