Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study conducts sleep trials using down comforters among healthy male and female participants. Each participant will sleep using either a down comforter blended with functional fibers or a control down comforter blended with non-functional rayon fibers. We will record subjective sleep indices via questionnaires and perform sleep EEG measurements during the night. The objective of this study is to verify whether significant differences exist between the two types of down comforters in terms of sleep brainwaves, subjective sleep quality, and the sense of recovery upon awakening.
