To test the hypothesis that weak electromagnetic fields of low frequencies (0.5-26 Hz) could affect daytime sleep features and structure.Parameters of daytime sleep continuity were compared in the study with counterbalanced control/exposition (40 min exposure to electromagnetic field at 1 Hz/0.004 μT) scheme in 22 healthy volunteers. Nonlinear regression model was used to assess daytime sleep continuity.Exposure to a weak electromagnetic field of ultra-low frequency significantly improved the quality of sleep, assessed by the indicator of sleep continuity, namely, there were fewer transitions from the second and deeper stages of sleep to the first stage and to the state of wakefulness (The results can be used to develop non-pharmacological methods of sleep correction, as well as to improve the quality of short-term sleep and its positive effect on well-being, cognitive function and working capacity.Исследование влияния экспозиции слабых электромагнитных полей сверхнизкой частоты на структуру дневного сна.У 22 здоровых добровольцев сравнивали по контрбалансированной схеме показатели непрерывности (консолидированности) дневного сна при 40-минутной экспозиции электромагнитного поля (1 Гц/0,004 мкТл) и без воздействия (контроль). Для оценки непрерывности сна использовалась нелинейная регрессионная модель.Показано, что экспозиция слабого электромагнитного поля сверхнизкой частоты достоверно улучшала качество сна, оцениваемое по показателю непрерывности сна, а именно: наблюдалось меньше переходов от второй и более глубоких стадий сна к первой стадии и к состоянию бодрствования (
