Experts Highlight Impact of Indoor Air Quality on Sleep Quality for World Sleep Day 2026

Research highlights that indoor air quality (AQI) significantly affects sleep quality by influencing breathing comfort and sleep efficiency. Experts Natasha Taylor and Dr. Monika Sharma note that pollutants like dust, allergens, and elevated CO2 levels can accumulate in bedrooms overnight due to limited ventilation, leading to fragmented sleep, frequent awakenings, and reduced restorative rest. They emphasize maintaining cleaner bedroom air to support healthier sleep and overall daily functioning.
