Abstract

This literature review explores the intersection between environmental changes and human health. It has been found that climate change through rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and poor air quality, disrupts human sleep. This lack of sleep is linked to many physical and mental health concerns in humans. By examining previous research on the topic, this review emphasizes the need to incorporate sleep health in climate adaptation and public health strategies
