Primary

MeasureTime frame

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
We compare the PSQI total scores before, during and after the intervention, and the "refreshing feeling upon getting up" and the ratio of the deep sleep time recorded by "Sleep Meister" and the total sleeping time in the MBS group and the NBS (nasal breathing during sleep) group.
