Objective: The aim of this intervention study was to investigate how changes of sleep habits affect hematological and biochemical markers in healthy adults. Methods: Five groups of 10 participants (50 in total) were involved. One group was considered the control group while the others were asked to modify their sleeping habits in terms of bedtime (sleep at 10 pm), lighting, rock or relaxing music. Blood markers were studied at the beginning and at the end of seven consecutive days. Results: This survey showed an increase in Potassium (p=0,006) and Creatine Kinase (p=0,023) in the group of participants that changed their bedtime habits. Alkaline Phosphatase (p=0.039) increased in those who slept with the presence of light. Lymphocytes (p=0.008), Glucose (p<0.001) and CRP (p=0.013) decreased after the end of this intervention. Sleeping with relaxing music led to a decrease in Albumin (p: 0.018) and CRP (p<0.001) while sleeping with to rock music increased levels of Triglycerides (p=0.004), Bilirubin (p=0.020) and Phosphorus (p=0.023) and decreased Uric Acid (p=0.019), Lactate Dehydrogenase (p=0.013) and Creatine Kinase (p=0.044). From the participants who changed their bedtime habits the 50% reported wakefulness and morning fatigue, nightmares, drowsiness and lack of appetite. All the participants who slept with light reported intermittent sleep, difficulty in waking up and morning fatigue. The participants who fell asleep listening to relaxing or rock music reported intermittent sleep, nervousness and appetite changes. Conclusion: Negative factors that affect the quality of sleep can affect the biochemical and hematological markers and contribute to the outbreak or deterioration of illnesses.
