That seems a bit warm for me, I'm wondering whether the study was done using people in a hot region and therefore acclimatised to higher temperatures. I haven't found the full text of the article to confirm my guess but it does seem likely since it's talking about finding decreases in sleep quality when bedroom temperatures rise from 25° to 30°.
That sounds horrific. 20+ degrees. Pretty sure we sleep in rooms that are 4c.
I'm going to put a thermometer in tonight and check to see how cold it gets. No chance I'd be having a restful sleep at temps above 20c. I'd be cooking with covers of naked
I’m 45 and can’t sleep in anything above 20°C
Summer is terrible for my sleep schedule.
The temperature I prefer to sleep at is 15°C. My bedroom window stay opened all days of the year and I don’t heat.
20 to 25°C in superior units
I am not at peace when I am asleep unless I am in a room that is as cold as an ice maker
My setback thermostat goes to 16C (61C) at 11:00pm. Winter is when I sleep the best.
In the summer, I just go to 21 with the AC.
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.
Anything above 72°F and I get headaches when I wake up, just the most uncomfortable sleep.
Good thing I only sleep in Celsius
