New Study Reveals the PERFECT Room Temperature for Sleeping
There's plenty of debate over what exactly the ideal room temperature is while sleeping. Some like it downright balmy while others prefer a chill to the air. Well, we can finally put a rest to the discourse because a new study from the National Sleep Foundation has revealed the optimal room temperature for snoozing.
Be prepared to grab your favorite down comforter because the ideal temperature is around 65°F (18.3°C). News of the study was shared by the Instagram account @explain, but the full report can be found on the National Sleep Foundation website.
The report, which was published earlier this month, goes into further detail on why resting in a room that's too stuffy can be detrimental to your sleep.
"Warmer temperatures can cause discomfort and restlessness, and anyone who has slept in a stuffy bedroom can attest that it is hard to nod off when they are sweaty and dehydrated. A bedroom that is too warm can interfere with the body's thermoregulation abilities and cause fatigue. Often, a person who is fatigued will feel physically and mentally tired, but unable to fall asleep," the report revealed.
While some people are thrilled at the confirmation that a cooler temperature is most ideal when it comes to sleeping, others aren't quite sure they can afford that cool comfort.
"Tell that to my electric company.. if i set it at 65 in the summer I'd lose my house 😂," read one of the most liked comments under @explain's Instagram post.
"Research also shows that you will need a second job to pay the electric bill," someone else chimed in.
