Rational & Study Design
Why I created this challenge:
With sleep disturbances affecting millions of adults in the United States, finding effective, non-pharmacological solutions is crucial. Research has shown that exposure to natural environments can reduce stress and improve sleep quality. Scholarly studies support the therapeutic benefits of nature walks, while social media buzz and popular press emphasize their calming effects. By assessing sleep quality using the PROMIS® Sleep-Related Impairment Short Form 8a and Apple Watch Sleep Tracking, this challenge aims to provide evidence-based results. It is essential to run this study to validate nature walks as a viable intervention for enhancing sleep quality.
My Objective for You:
My objective for you is to harness the therapeutic benefits of nature walks to improve your sleep quality within 30 days. By following a structured walking schedule and using the Apple Watch to monitor progress, we aim to reduce sleep-related impairments and enhance your overall well-being.
Aims & Objectives:
This challenge aims to assess the impact of daily nature walks on sleep quality. The primary objective is to reduce sleep-related impairments and improve overall sleep metrics within 30 days.
Significance & Impact:
This challenge has the potential to offer a natural, accessible solution for sleep disturbances. Expected outcomes include improved sleep quality and reduced stress levels. However, limitations include individual differences in response to nature walks and potential variability in compliance. Successful outcomes could promote non-pharmacological interventions for better sleep, impacting public health positively.
