My initiative reaction is that this sounds stupidly obvious. You sleep better at temps you find comfortable.

they were comparing 68-77F to even warmer temps, up to 86F. probably inspired to do the 'research' considering the global heat wave that's going on.. effects of high temps on sleep for old people when they don't have AC in the summer or sumsuch.
