About the Cover

In this issue’s cover feature, “Impacts of Industrial Wind Turbine Noise on Sleep Quality: Results From a Field Study of Rural Residents in Ontario, Canada,” the authors attempted to determine whether industrial wind turbines (IWTs) are a risk factor for poor sleep quality. A daily sleep diary and actigraphy-derived measures of sleep were obtained from participants in two rural communities, one with IWTs and a comparison one without IWTs. While the study results did not yield any statistically significant differences observed between the two study groups, it did highlight the strength of the combined use of actigraphy with sleep diaries to effectively triangulate an accurate view of sleep for use in future research.
