Sleep Environment Engineering

Meaning

Sleep Environment Engineering is the deliberate, clinical practice of modifying the physical and sensory characteristics of an individual’s sleeping space to maximize the quality, duration, and restorative capacity of sleep. This involves optimizing factors such as light exposure, ambient temperature, noise level, and electromagnetic field exposure to create a neurophysiologically supportive environment. Proper engineering is a crucial, non-pharmacological strategy for regulating circadian rhythm and optimizing nocturnal hormonal secretion.
