Overview
Brief Summary
The study looked at whether regular physical activity can influence sleep duration, sleep quality and/or anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The link between exercise and sleep has already been observed in the literature, but the impact of exercise on sleep is poorly understood. The question is how important is the influence of regular physical activity on sleep, anxiety and depression in patients with COPD or IPF.
Detailed Description
Patients will be selected in two ways: 1. Intervention group: patients with COPD or idiopathic fibrosis following rehabilitation program in our center, who meet the inclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the survey and answer the questionnaires during the first week and again eight weeks after the start of the rehabilitation program. 2. Control group: patients with COPD or idiopathic fibrosis who do not perform any regular physical activity will be invited to participate in the survey and answer the questionnaires. The questionnaires are validated and the time allowed for completion is 45 minutes. The questionnaires will assess sleep quality, anxiety and symptoms of depression.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in sleep quality - sleepiness
Time Frame: 2 minutes
Sleep quality will be assessed by the questionnaire "Epworth Sleepiness Scale". A score between 0-5 indicates "lower normal daytime sleeping"; between 6-10 "higher normal daytime sleepiness; 11-12 "mil excessive daytime sleepiness"; 13-15 "moderate excessive daytime sleepiness" and 16-24 "severe excessive daytime sleepiness".
Changes in sleep quality - insomnia
Time Frame: 2 minutes
Sleep quality will be assessed by the questionnaire "Insomnia Severity Index ". A scale is used to rank each item, where "0" means "no problem", "1 - mild problem", "2 - moderate" "3 - severe" and "4 very severe problem". The total score is interpreted as absence of insomnia (0-7); sub-threshold insomnia (8-14); Moderate insomnia (15-21); and severe insomnia (22-28).
Changes in sleep quality - Sleep Agenda
Time Frame: 4 minutes per day
Sleep quality will be assessed by the questionnaire "Sleep Agenda". The sleep agenda is a subjective method of sleep evaluation which demand the patient to fill the agenda at two times of the day: at 9 in the morning to describe what happened at night and 9 in the evening to report what happened in the day for a minimum of three weeks. The patient need to specify the quality of his night, if it was "very good", "good", "average", "bad" and "very bad" and specify, also, if he took any medications or if something happened may have interfered with his sleep.
Changes in sleep quality - "Morningness" or "eveningness" types
Time Frame: 2 minutes
Sleep quality will be assessed by the questionnaire "Morningness - Eveningness Questionnaire ". Scores between 42 and 58 indicate "neural types", scores of 59 and above indicate "morning types" and scores of 41 and below indicates "evening types".
