A quality sleep period is extremely important for the renewal of the mind and the recovery of the energy required for healthy body functions. A person can relieve the physical and psychological fatigue experienced during the day with a quality sleep period. The thermal comfort conditions of the sleeping environment are also among the determining factors for a quality sleep. The temperature of the environment and its change, the radiation temperature due to hot or cold surfaces in the environment, the relative humidity value of the environment, air velocity and the clothing preferred by the person can be listed as thermal comfort parameters that affect sleep quality. The 2 most important standards known for thermal comfort, ASHRAE Standard 55 (2013) and ISO 7730 (2006), do not provide specific values for sleeping environments. There is a need to discuss thermal comfort during sleep for both heated and cooled environments and even establish a standardization. Recently, the subject of thermal comfort and sleep quality was reviewed by (Soylu and Atmaca, 2021) and in this context, evaluations were presented based on the literature review conducted until 2020. In the literature review, it is seen that thermal comfort during sleep has been widely analysed after 2020. In this context, this study summarizes the scientific studies examining the thermal comfort parameters during sleep for heated and cooled environments after 2020, and attempts are made to obtain important inferences about thermal comfort during sleep.

UYKUDA ISIL KONFORUN ISITILAN ve SOĞUTULAN ORTAMLAR İÇİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Öz

Zihnin yenilenmesi ve sağlıklı vücut fonksiyonları için gerekli enerjinin tekrar kazanılması için kaliteli bir uyku periyodu son derece önem arz etmektedir. İnsan gün içinde maruz kalınan fiziksel ve psikolojik yorgunluğunu kaliteli bir uyku periyodu ile giderebilir. Uyunan ortamın ısıl konfor şartları da kaliteli bir uyku için belirleyici etmenler arasındadır. Ortamın sıcaklığı ve bu sıcaklığın değişimi, ortamdaki sıcak veya soğuk yüzeylere bağlı ışınım sıcaklığı, ortamın bağıl nem değeri, hava hızı ve kişinin tercih ettiği giyim uyku kalitesine tesir eden ısıl konfor parametreleri olarak sıralanabilir. Isıl konfor ile ilgili olarak bilinen en önemli 2 standart olan ASHRAE Standart 55 (2013) ve ISO 7730 (2006)’ da uyku durumu için belirgin değerler sunulmamaktadır. Uyku halinde ısıl konforun hem ısıtılan hem de soğutulan ortamlar için tartışılmasına hatta bir standardizasyonun oluşturulmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Yakın zamanda (Soylu ve Atmaca, 2021) tarafından ısıl konfor ve uyku kalitesi incelenmiş, bu kapsamda 2020 yılına kadar yapılan literatür incelemesi üzerinden değerlendirmeler sunulmuştur. Yapılan literatür incelemesinde 2020 yılı sonrasında da uykuda ısıl konforun yaygın olarak analiz edildiği görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda bu çalışmada uykuda ısıl konfor parametrelerini ısıtılan ve soğutulan ortamlar için 2020 yılı sonrası inceleyen bilimsel çalışmalar özetlenerek, uyku durumunda ısıl konfora dair önemli çıkarımlar elde edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
