Sleep plays an important role in essential body functions, individuals’ welfare, health, and daily productivity. Sleep structure is vulnerable to several features that include both pathophysiology processes and environmental influences. Typically, sleeping environments are characterized by low ventilation rates, leading to pollutant accumulation. Adding to this, the breathing zone is very close to potential sources of pollutants, such as the mattresses and bed sheets. This study aims to describe and characterize the sleep and sleep environment perception of the Portuguese population.
