Abstract
Effect of Increased Heart Rate on Sleep Quality
Trey Wilson, Colby Beard, Makkenzi Converse-Olson, Gabriel Moura
Abstract
Studies have shown that sleep is now considered one of the three basic pillars of health together with diet and exercise. Poor sleep quality has a negative impact in different areas related to physical health (1). Insomnia has been alleviated significantly with resistance exercise and stretching (2). Thus, this IRB-approved study investigated the effects of increased heart rate induced by passive static stretching on sleep quality among 18-22 year old college students. Male and female college students of aged 18-22 (n=13) completed a regimen of 10, one minute passive static stretches prior to sleep for a duration of two weeks with students self monitoring heart rates. Overall sleep quality was assessed using questions adopted from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results of this study indicated that while the passive static stretch regimen significantly increased (p=0.000528) heart rate prior to sleeping, a positive correlation between the percent change in heart rate and percent change of subjective sleep quality scores was not demonstrated (R=0.0983). The pre and post sleep assessment scores were not significantly different for either group (experiment group p=0.424823, control group p=0.318507). Average morning heart rates (60-80 bpm = range of normal resting HR) between the two groups (p=0.437006) showed no significant difference as well. This study showed that there was a significant change in heart rate as induced by passive static stretching among the experimental group, however, there was no correlation with overall quality of sleep.
