What is the Best Home Temperature for Sleeping?

What is the Best Home Temperature for Sleeping?

Did you know that adults between 18 and 64 need seven to nine hours of sleep per night?

If you're having trouble sleeping or staying asleep, that number can be much lower.

You deserve a good night's rest. There are many factors that can contribute to getting enough sleep or staying asleep through the night.

Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about what you'll need to ensure you're getting enough sleep. It starts with having the right home temperature.

What's the Right Home Temperature?

Your sleep environment greatly affects how well you sleep. Your room temperature, bed temperature, and other factors play a role in how well you sleep through the night.

Believe it or not, you will be able to sleep longer and better when your home and bedroom are at the right temperature. If your bedroom temperature is too hot or too cold, it could disrupt your sleep cycle. 

Too Hot 

If your house temperature is too hot, your body will not respond well to it. When you sleep, your body temperature will naturally decrease. This is normal and helps you stay asleep throughout the night.

However, keeping your room too hot can make your body temperature rise. Your body's temperature rising will make it difficult for you to fall asleep and stay asleep. You may experience waking up in the middle of your sleep cycle. You also might experience tossing and turning from the heat. 

Too Cold

If the room temperature is too cold, it can also disrupt your sleep cycle. Your body will work extra hard to keep your body temperature from dropping too much. This can put strain on your cardiovascular system and cause it to work extra hard.

If it's too cold in the room, add extra blankets on top of your bed. If the temperature is still cold, ensure that your thermostat is on and turned up in the colder months. Adding another layer of breathable pajamas may also help keep you warm. 

However, make sure that you're not raising your body temperature too high by doing all of these at once.

Just Right

No matter if you like the room temperature to be more on the warm side or on the colder side, it's important to know what's too hot or too cold.

Your house and room should always be between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit when sleeping. 

If your room has trouble keeping a steady temperature throughout the night, especially in the warm summer months, keep a fan running. A fan can help keep the room at a steady and cooler temperature. 

Caffeine and sugary foods can also increase your body temperature. Be sure that you limit your intake of these foods and drinks before you go to bed. 

Benefits of Sleeping at the Right Home Temperature

The temperature of your room while you sleep plays an important factor into how well you sleep.

Waking up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, or not being able to fall asleep can affect your body and mind both short-term and long-term.

Getting enough sleep can help boost your immune system, help improve your memory, and boost your energy. It can also help reduce stress, and improve your productivity in your daily life. 

It's normal to have trouble sleeping from time to time, but a loss of sleep over a long period can be dangerous. 

The first thing you can do set your room temperature to a comfortable and healthy setting. This will be best in helping you regulate a normal sleep pattern. 

Getting enough sleep through the night and staying asleep will improve your health, moods, and give you a clearer mind throughout the day.

Sleep is important and beneficial to all parts of your life. It may be that all you need is a stable room temperature to regulate your body's sleep patterns. 

Other Ways to Ensure a Good Night's Sleep

If you're still struggling, there are other ways to help you get a good night's sleep. Once you've set your room to a healthy and stable temperature, you can focus on other aspects that are keeping you from sleeping. 

The first thing you can do is keep your sleep schedule consistent. By going to sleep and waking up around the same time every day, you can regulate a healthy sleeping pattern. 

Keeping your contact with blue-light devices to a minimum before bed can also help. Devices like televisions, phones, and computers can disrupt your production of melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone that your body creates to help you fall asleep.

Comfortable sheets, duvets, mattresses, and pillows are essential to a good night's sleep. Don't skimp on buying quality bedding. You will be able to tell the difference and your body will thank you.

Creating a comfortable place to sleep will help you have less uninterrupted sleep. The environment you sleep in has a huge effect on how well you sleep. Keep your room dark, quiet, and with little to no distraction. 

Get Some ZZZ's

There are many factors that play into getting a good night's sleep. One of the most important factors is your home temperature.

Whether you're a cold or hot sleeper, your home shouldn't exceed 67 degrees. It shouldn't fall below 60 degrees either. 

Your sleep is important. Investing in uninterrupted sleep starts with room temperature and comfortable bedding. Check out this collection for all your comfortable bedding needs. 

A good night's sleep will improve your overall health and will set you up for success when you wake up in the morning.
