本研究的目的是评估被动身体加热（PBH）作为老年人失眠的治疗方法。老年人的多导睡眠图记录通常显示睡眠碎片增加，慢波睡眠（SWS）大幅减少，这与“更轻”的睡眠更受干扰的抱怨一致。研究表明，年轻人在晚上早些时候通过PBH增加体温，会在睡眠期的早期增加SWS。在一项交叉设计中，9名女性失眠症患者（年龄60-72岁）参加了连续两晚的PBH，包括睡前1.5小时的热水（40-40.5摄氏度）和温水（37.5-38.5摄氏度）浴。热水浴后，睡眠连续性显著改善，SWS呈增加趋势。主观测量的结果显示，受试者在热水浴后经历了显着的“更深”和更宁静的睡眠。此外，热水浴导致温度最低点的显着延迟与基线相比，夜晚。
The purpose of this study was to evaluate passive body heating (PBH) as a treatment for insomnia in older adults. Polysomnographic recordings of older adults routinely show an increase in sleep fragmentation and a substantial decrease in slow-wave sleep (SWS) consistent with complaints of ''lighter'' more disturbed sleep. An increase in body temperature in young adults early in the evening by way of PBH has been shown to produce an increase in SWS in the early part of the sleep period. In a crossover design, nine female insomniacs (aged 60-72 yr) participated in two consecutive nights of PBH, involving hot (40-40.5 degrees C) and luke-warm (37.5-38.5 degrees C) baths 1.5 hours before bedtime. Significant improvement in sleep continuity and a trend toward an increase in SWS occurred after hot baths. Results of subjective measures showed that subjects experienced significantly ''deeper'' and more restful sleep after hot baths. In addition, hot baths resulted in a significant delay of temperature nadir in comparison to baseline nights.
