I am particularly concerned about the impacts on my sleeping patterns from aircraft noise at night (11.00 to 6.00). As I have grown older my sleep has become lighter and I am woken up in the early hours of the morning by existing aircraft movements over my village. Any expansion to night time air traffic will make matters worse for me. As I understand it, a new study (published in Environmental Health Perspectives) has found that people who were exposed to even moderate levels of aircraft noise were less likely to receive the minimum recommended amount of sleep each night. This has the potential to affect my health.
