Interpretation by narrative literature review of the factors involved in sleep disorders

Abstract

Concern for identifying and understanding the variables that affect sleep quality has been increasing in recent years, although more studies are needed in this line of research. The aim of the study was to interpret, through a narrative literature review, the factors involved in sleep disorders. Methodologically, the study was classified as observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective. A hermeneutic approach was adopted to interpret and deeply understand the existing literature on factors influencing sleep quality and its effects on general health. The role of the glymphatic system in the elimination of brain metabolic wastes and how good sleep quality facilitates neuroprotective processes is highlighted. The findings highlight the importance of improving sleep hygiene and developing personalized interventions for its management, suggesting the adoption of innovative approaches in future research, such as the application of theories like neutrosophic. This review urges the adoption of innovative approaches to sleep research, including the application of theories such as neutrosophic, to address the complexity of these phenomena more effectively. In conclusion, this systematic review evidences the interconnectedness between multiple factors that impact sleep quality and underscores the need for multidisciplinary approaches to its management. Understanding these factors through a heuristic approach not only facilitates a better interpretation of the underlying mechanisms affecting sleep, but also guides the development of more effective and personalized intervention strategies
