About this Research Topic
Sleep health has been defined as 'a multidimensional pattern of sleep-wakefulness, adapted to individual, social, and environmental demands, that promotes physical and mental well-being'. The importance of this concept is that sleep health can be characterized as a multidimensional construct comprising different dimensions of sleep and circadian functioning, including satisfaction, sleepiness/alertness, timing, efficiency, duration, regularity, and rhythmicity. These different dimensions can be characterized for any individual at any point in time. In addition, sleep health is viewed as a positive attribute. These characteristics distinguish sleep health from sleep disorders, which tend to be categorical, chronic, present in a minority of individuals, and considered a negative attribute.
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to present cutting-edge studies on sleep health and identify ways to improve it. We will welcome original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and review articles covering the following topics:
・sleep health and health outcomes
・exploratory research on possible mechanisms for sleep health and health outcomes
・development of a scale to measure sleep health
・interventions that improve individual sleep health.
