dc.description	The authors would like to thank the Portuguese Air Force and in particular its Air Base n.5 and the Portuguese Polytechnic Institute of Leiria and in particular its School of Health Sciences and Social Work Service. We would also like to thank the air force military and the university student participants for their contribution of time and effort to the research, without them, this study would not be possible.
dc.description.abstract	The common sense warn that the quality of our day depends on the quality of our previous night. Among the main factors contributing to a better sleep quality is the postural behavior during the sleep period. However, little or nothing is known about the actual influence of these behaviors on people sleep quality. This paper presents a study which aims to: i) Check if people can take on a new postural behavior during the sleep period after a training period aware of this behavior and; ii) Check if a postural recommendations can aims to induce positive changes in the perception on the indices of Sleep quality in young adults, according to ecological and environmental approach. A sample of 21560 observations, which corresponds to 595 hours of sleep hours of 24 young adults, 12 male military and 12 female undergraduate, participated in this study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure the perception of sleep quality before and after six consecutive months of appliance of the Postural Intervention program. Results shown that the Postural reeducation group improved self-perception of sleep quality (from bad to good) and a significant difference between the periods of the study (p = 0.008), according to the Student's T-Test and, ideal posture while sleeping using the ideal placement and amount of pillows (1.34% to 81.48%). Findings of this study allow us to suggest to health care professionals, in particular the rehabilitation professionals, new strategies and solutions for ergonomic change in posture in bed and improve the sleep quality indices.	eng
