Abstract
As we enter an aging society due to increasing life expectancy, there are many social pathology problems such as generation conflict. This study is intended to find out the effects of sunlight on elderly women’s sleep related elements. Participants of this study are 40 elderly women (age 70.5±3.5years, height 155.8± 4.3cm, weight 67.8± 4.1kg) who haven’t engaged in planned exercise or nourishment control for one year. The participants were randomly divided into four groups of sunlight group, exercise group, sunlight and exercise combination group, and control group, and 10-week-long experiment was done. Regarding sleep quality related items and sleep related hormone changes according to the experiment, One-way ANOVA analysis and Duncan post-hoc were done, and the results are as follows. Regarding the bedtime among the quality of sleep, the combination group fall asleep the soonest followed by the exercise group, the sunlight group, and the control group. The combination group also woke up the earliest followed by the sunlight group, the exercise group, and the control group. Regarding the potential sleep time (time to take until falling asleep), the combination group had the shortest time followed by the sunlight group, the exercise group, and the control group.
