He’s too hot, she’s too cold. One or the other stealthily makes their way at 3 am to go change the thermostat. The optimal sleeping temperature is a point of contention for many couples, so we’re here to set the record straight once and for all. (Drum Roll, please.)
Research has shown that your bedroom should maintain between 60-67 degrees for a good night’s sleep. When you’re getting ready to snooze, your internal thermostat lowers in anticipation of rest. Having the bedroom too warm can disrupt your sleep cycles and lead to a restless, low quality sleep.
The next time you’re fighting insomnia, making things cooler may just be the ticket to dreamland.
