This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
About 4 in 10 people with COPD struggle with poor sleep, which makes their breathing symptoms worse and lowers their quality of life. This trial tests whether a structured 2-month breathing rehabilitation program — involving exercises and training to strengthen your lungs and breathing — can improve both how long you sleep and how well you sleep, measured by special overnight sleep monitoring.
While breathing rehabilitation has been shown to help COPD symptoms and exercise ability, doctors don't yet know whether this treatment can also fix the sleep problems that many COPD patients experience. This trial aims to fill that gap.

You will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group or usual care group. If assigned to treatment, you will participate in a 2-month breathing rehabilitation program (the specific details of exercise frequency and type would be explained at your first visit). Both groups will have special overnight sleep monitoring tests (polysomnography) at the start and after 2 months to measure how your sleep changes. The study takes place at a hospital in Rouen, France.
