Abstract

Sleep problems are associated with the health status of Thais. The general Thai population is not aware about the importance of sleep quality, resulting in both increased physical and mental diseases and illnesses.  Currently, there are various tools to assess the sleep quality such as polysomnography (PSG), portable devices or smartwatches, and sleep quality questionnaires. All of these tools help to assess and track the quality of sleep. The treatments to improve quality of sleep, most of which did not include medicine, included cognitive behavioral therapy, modifying the bedroom environment, practicing correctly following sleep hygiene, and proper exercise arrangements. The purpose of this study was to gather information about sleep and non-drug treatment for good sleep quality.
