The frequency of body movement in the young people during sleep easured. in order to investigate the effect of thermal environmets on sleep in summer and autumn. Simultaneously, room temperature and humidity were also measured. On the morning after measureing body movements, the time to go to bed and to get up, the degree of sound sleep and bedclothes were assessed by a questionnaire. The following results were obtained. 1. The bedroom temperature in summer during sleep ranged from 20 to 30℃ (mean 27.06℃). On the other hand, it was between 14 and 26℃ (mean 18.82℃) in autumn, which was significantly lower than that in summer. 2. Body movement in summer during sleep was significantly greater than those in autumn. 3. A significant relation between bedroom temperature and temperature in bed in both summer and autumn seasons (summer: r = 0.846 p<0.001, autumn: r = 0.107 p<0.05). 4. A significant relation between body movement and bedroom temperature was found both seasons. Under the higher bedroom temperature, there was a tendency toward a higher rate of body movement. These results indicate that suitable adjustment of room temperature by using an air-conditioner is important for achieving a stable sleep pattern.
