...Resultsof avery recent large study, conductedby Health Canada, provided themost comprehensive assessment of the association between exposure to WT noise and sleep and showed that outdoor WT noise levels near participants’ homes were not associated with sleep factors measured by actigraphy, such as sleep efficiency, the rate of awakenings, duration of awakenings, total sleep time, or sleep latency.([18])...
