Best Temperature for sleep

Article
Sleep Foundation
SUMMARY

The sleep Foundation article discusses the optimal bedroom temperature for sleep, recommending approximately 65°F (18.3°C), with a suggested range between 60-67°F (15.6-19.4°C). Maintaining this cooler environment aligns with the body's natural thermoregulation during sleep, facilitating the drop in core body temperature that promotes sleep onset and quality. Proper sleep is crucial for brain health, aiding in memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and overall cognitive performance. To enhance sleep quality and, consequently, cognitive function, consider adjusting your bedroom thermostat to the recommended range, using breathable bedding materials, and keeping the sleep environment dark and quiet. The article is based on current scientific understanding and provides practical guidance for individuals seeking to improve their sleep and brain health.
