Air Purifiers and Sleep: The Surprising Link Between Clean Air and Better Rest

Quality sleep is essential for your health and well-being, and we understand how frustrating it can be to suffer from disrupted sleep, especially if you live in an area with less-than-optimal air quality. A fascinating study by the Sleep Research Society shows that using an air purifier in the bedroom can significantly improve sleep, even for healthy individuals in rural and city areas.

The Study

Researchers tested the impact of an air purifier in real-life conditions over eight weeks, focusing on 36 adults aged 25-74 with objectively measured poor sleep. For four weeks, participants used an air purifier in their bedrooms 24/7, while their sleep was tracked using SleepScore Max devices and self-reports.

Key Findings

Objective Improvements: Across 1,591 nights of data, participants experienced noticeable improvements in sleep quality, especially those with the poorest baseline sleep. These benefits included:

• Fewer awakenings during the night
• Less time spent awake after falling asleep
• Increased sleep efficiency and continuity

Better Self-Reported Sleep: Participants shared that they

• Fell asleep faster and stayed asleep longer
• Woke up fewer times during the night
• Felt more rested and satisfied with their sleep in the morning
