高原环境对睡眠影响的研究进展

以缺氧为主要特征的高原环境对人体睡眠质量具有重要影响。无论是初入高原还是长期居住高原的人群,均可能受到睡眠问题的困扰。高原环境对睡眠的影响主要表现在睡眠结构中慢波睡眠减少,睡眠连续性遭到破坏以及影响睡眠期间血氧饱和度、呼吸、血压等生理指标。改善高原睡眠的方法以增加睡眠期间氧气摄入以及服用镇静、安眠的药物为主。

Research Progress in Influence of High Altitude Environment on Sleep

The plateau environment characterized by hypobaric hypoxia has significant effects on human sleep quality.People who have lived for a long time on the plateau or the short time travelers are disturbed by poor sleep quality.Slow wave sleep of the sleep architecture is reduced and the continuity of sleep process is interrupted.Besides some physical signs during the sleep such as oxyhemoglobin saturation,breathing and blood pressure are also affected.Increased oxygen intaking or some sleeping tablets may improve the sleep quality.
