Effect of Sleep Quality on General Health and Quality of Life

Sleep quality is a critical determinant of overall health and well-being, with profound implications for physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning. This abstract explores the multifaceted impact of sleep quality on general health outcomes and quality of life. The review synthesizes empirical evidence from diverse disciplines, including sleep medicine, psychology, epidemiology, and public health, to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying sleep regulation, the physiological consequences of poor sleep quality, and the subjective perception of sleep quality. Furthermore, the abstract examines the associations between sleep quality and various health outcomes, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders, and musculoskeletal conditions. Additionally, it explores the functional impairments associated with poor sleep quality, including diminished cognitive performance, emotional dysregulation, and impaired interpersonal relationships. Finally, the abstract underscores the importance of addressing sleep disturbances as a modifiable risk factor for chronic diseases and promoting interventions aimed at enhancing sleep quality and improving overall quality of life.
