What this trial studies
This study investigates how the diaphragm release technique can improve sleep duration and quality in healthy individuals. It focuses on the impact of diaphragm tension on breathing patterns and overall sleep quality. Participants will wear a Fitbit® Inspire 2 to monitor their sleep duration, heart rate, and step count over three days, while their sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI). The study aims to include 32 individuals from Tokat, aged 18-65, who do not have chronic diseases or psychological disorders.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy individuals aged 18-65 without chronic diseases or psychological disorders.
Not a fit: Patients with neurological, psychiatric, or cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance sleep quality and duration for individuals experiencing diaphragm tension.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific diaphragm release technique may be novel, similar approaches focusing on muscle relaxation and sleep improvement have shown promise in other studies.
