Abstract
The purpose of this article was to provide an overview of the effects of the sleep education with self-help treatment for student, teacher, and local resident and sleep health promotion for mental and physical wellness for elderly with actual examples of public health from the community and schools. Sleep education with self-help treatment in schools revealed that delayed or irregular sleep/wake patterns were significantly improved. Also, it was effective for improving sleep-onset latency, sleep satisfaction, mood during the morning, and daytime sleepiness. The strategy of this sleep education included the acquisition of the correct knowledge about sleep and the sleep-related behaviors that are important for improving sleep. Sleep health promotion that included short naps and exercise in the evening (Sleep health class) was effective in promoting sleep and mental health with elderly people. The interventions demonstrated that the proper awakening maintenance, keeping proper arousal level during the evening was effective in improving sleep quality. Furthermore, sleep management that included sleep education and cognitive-behavioral interventions improved sleep-related habits and the quality of sleep. In this study, a sleep educational program using minimal cognitive-behavioral modification techniques was developed. Mental and physical health was also improved with better sleep in the elderly. These results suggest that sleep health promotion is effective for mental and physical wellness for the elderly.
