Abstract
To explore the effect of forest-based health and wellness experiences on sleep quality for middle-aged people, we observed 12 healthy volunteers, aged 35–39 years, for three days and two nights during “forest bathing.” Huawei honor-4 bracelets were used to continuously monitor their exercise and sleep patterns. After the forest-based health and wellness experience, the average sleep score of the volunteers increased by 6 points, and the length of night sleep increased by 1.6 hours. The proportion of deep sleep increased by 3%, the proportion of rapid eye movement increased by 1%, and the proportion of shallow sleep decreased by 4%. Overall, sleep quality was improved; however, this was not sustained. The effects of forest-based health and wellness experience on the sleep indicators showed both individual and gender differences; sleep quality generally improved better for females than males.
