"Unlocking the Perfect Night's Sleep: The Ideal Bedroom Temperature Revealed"
Researchers from the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research have discovered that maintaining a bedroom temperature between 20-25C (68-77F) is crucial for a good night's sleep, particularly for older adults. The study, which involved 50 participants aged 65 and over wearing sleep monitors for a year and a half, found that sleep efficiency and restfulness were highest within this temperature range. Quality of sleep decreased at higher and lower temperatures, with a 5-10% drop in sleep efficiency observed at 30C. The findings highlight the importance of creating a comfortable home environment and raise concerns about the potential impact of climate change on sleep quality in older adults.
