At Brian's Heating & Cooling, Inc., we specialize in keeping the homes of our Madera clients comfortable throughout the year. We know that maintaining the right temperature in the bedroom brings important benefits to your health and wellness. Proper sleeping conditions help you recover from a busy day and prepare yourself for a fresh start.
How to Determine Your Ideal Sleeping Conditions
Researchers recommend that you take sleep seriously. Many people have implemented sleep routines that help them get to bed faster. For example, some people make a habit of turning off their phones and televisions within an hour before bed. Your bedroom can also prepare itself for the night. A programmable thermostat will adjust the temperature to be at the right level when it is time to turn out the light.
The ideal sleeping temperature varies from person to person. Some studies suggest that 65 degrees is the right setting. Most people fall within a range of 60 to 67 degrees. Your perfect sleeping conditions can also affect the temperature setting. If you sleep with very little bedding, you may find a warmer thermostat setting more comfortable.
Working With Your Natural Sleep Cycle
Even in the digital age, your body responds to the natural cues of sunlight. As the sun begins to set, your body produces the hormone melatonin. This substance signals your metabolism to slow down in preparation for rest. You start to feel tired, and your body temperature can drop as much as two degrees from normal.
The change in body temperature makes you more sensitive to the ambient temperature. If it is too cold or hot, you may have trouble drifting off. Unfortunately, your body does not come with an “Off” button. Instead, you go through three phases of lighter sleep before entering the deeply restful REM stage. The right room temperature will prevent the disruption of this cycle.
