Effect of Indicators of Exercise on Sleep Efficiency

Abstract

Although sleep is important for good health, the number of people suffering from insomnia has increased in recent years, making it important to find ways that can promote sleep. Research has shown that most exercises have a sleep-promoting effect and rarely have a negative impact. In this paper, sleep efficiency is used as a measure of sleep quality to compare and analyse the effects of different intensities of exercise on sleep efficiency, as well as the effects of various exercise indicators, and to conclude how exercise can most effectively improve sleep efficiency. Through ANOVA and linear regression, the study found that exercise in different state may have different preferred patterns which are beneficial to promote sleep efficiency. In general, exercise is better than keep sitting still as the increase in calorie consumption and some other indicators have positive effects on sleep efficiency. Besides, some interaction factors also have significant effects.
