Keep your bedroom cool for optimal sleep from "summary" of Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson
One of the most overlooked factors when it comes to getting a good night's sleep is the temperature of your bedroom. Many people don't realize that the temperature of your sleep environment can have a significant impact on the quality of your sleep. Research has shown that a cooler bedroom is generally more conducive to good sleep. When you are falling asleep, your body temperature naturally drops as part of your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. By keeping your bedroom cool, you can help facilitate this drop in body temperature, making it easier for you to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.
The ideal temperature for your bedroom is around 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit. This may seem a bit cool to some people, but cooler temperatures actually help to signal to your body that it's time to sleep. When your body temperature drops, it triggers the release of melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle.
In addition to helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, a cooler bedroom can also improve the quality of your sleep. When your bedroom is too warm, it can lead to restlessness and frequent waking throughout the night. By keeping your bedroom cool, you can help ensure that you get a more restful and rejuvenating night's sleep.
So, if you're struggling to get a good night's sleep, try turning down the thermostat in your bedroom. By creating a cooler sleep environment, you can help set yourself up for optimal sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and energized in the morning.
