p>Sleep is a critical physiological process important for overall well-being, influencing physical and mental health. Sleep
disorders have become increasingly prevalent, impacting a significant portion of the population. The First Night
Effect (FNE) often disrupts sleep patterns in a novel environment, affecting sleep architecture. This study aimed to
prevent FNE by implementing sleep enhancement interventions and assessing their impact on sleep quality using the
Withings Sleep Analyzer (WSA). The study involved 49 healthy participants, comparing sleep at home to sleep in a
hotel. Various sleep enhancement measures were implemented in the hotel setting, including temperature regulation,
relaxation practices, dietary adjustments, and auditory cues. The WSA quantified sleep quality based on factors like
duration, depth, regularity, and interruptions. Results showed sig.. View More»
