As we age, it becomes increasingly important to prioritize our sleep and ensure that we are getting the rest we need to stay healthy and energized. Dr. Kelvas, a sleep expert, highlights the impact of room temperature on our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.
When the room is too hot or cold, our bodies struggle to regulate the hormones necessary for a good night’s sleep. This can lead to difficulties in falling asleep and staying asleep. The ideal room temperature for promoting healthy sleep is between 60 °F (15.5 °C) to 68 °F (20 °C), according to the Sleep Foundation.
