We might think a warm bedroom is perfect for sleep, but the scientific truth is quite the opposite. We sleep best when our bedrooms are maintained between 60 and 68 degrees, and anything outside of this range often results in fitful rest. In this article, we’ll dive into why warmth interferes with our sleep, and how to cool off a hot bedroom.
Sleep can be hard to come by, and it’s usually because our sleep environment isn’t as optimal as it could be. If we aren’t sleeping well, then we aren’t spending enough time in the restorative stages of sleep such as deep, where our bodies are physically restored, and REM, where our minds are refreshed for the coming day. When we are woken up during deep or REM sleep, we must return to light sleep before progressing through all of the sleep stages. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to this, and if we are repeatedly woken up, we won’t feel physically or mentally refreshed in the morning.
So, it is imperative that plenty of deep and REM sleep is achieved, and that means we have to take charge of the sleep environment, including the sleep temperature. When you are struggling to sleep in an overly warm bedroom, you can use these tips to improve conditions.
Temperature is a vital part of creating a great sleep environment. While there’s often nothing we can do about the temperature in our home, these tips will hopefully lead to deeper more satisfying sleep.
