Benefits of Increased Sleep Quality:

Enhanced Cognitive Function: Quality sleep is crucial for optimal brain function. It improves memory consolidation, problem-solving skills, creativity, and overall cognitive performance. Well-rested individuals are better equipped to focus, make decisions, and retain information.

Emotional Well-being: Adequate sleep helps regulate emotions and reduces the risk of mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. It enhances emotional stability, making it easier to handle stress and maintain a positive outlook on life.

Physical Health: Quality sleep supports various aspects of physical health. It boosts the immune system, reducing the likelihood of illness. It also aids in tissue repair, muscle growth, and the regulation of hormones related to appetite and metabolism, which can help maintain a healthy weight.

Heart Health: Consistent, restorative sleep is linked to better cardiovascular health. It helps lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Impact of Room Temperature on Sleep Quality:

Thermoregulation: The body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature is crucial for sleep. A cooler room temperature facilitates the natural drop in core body temperature that occurs during the initial stages of sleep, promoting the onset of sleep and improving overall sleep quality.

Optimal Temperature Range: The ideal room temperature for sleep is typically between 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit (15-19 degrees Celsius). Within this range, the body can maintain a comfortable temperature without expending extra energy on thermoregulation, leading to deeper and more restful sleep.

Gonna burn my A/C out trying to keep 61 degrees in the summer 🤔

[allthestarsthatshine]

The sun rises at 4am here in the summer and like 10am in the winter. Not sure waking up with the sun is always the most refreshing thing. (I'm in northern Canada.)

[lusitanianightshade]

I can't sleep without the background noise of my TV, my brain won't stfu and other people talking is the only thing that helps 😂

[Chasee]

Absolutely disagree on the temperature. I tried this a couple years ago because sleep “experts” kept saying room needs to be cool. Well, ruined my sleep! I got a small heater and warmed it up again. That helped me get back to sleep

[fefek]

"16-18 degrees celcius" I WISH. I've been sleeping in 28 celcius for a month, and my ac fan doesn't even help 😭 I can't sleep lmao

[josi_k.]

Funny, in the summer the temperatures don't even go that much down in the night, I can't afford an AC, and a fan would just be too loud and I would get a stiff neck😂 I mean I can't even keep sleeping with the window open if the birds get too loud in the morning, sound is also an important factor 😅

I have a blue light filter on 247 and an app that I use that lowers brightness blue light n saturation before bed :3

[honeysickle]

I judge my sleep quality on my dreams. I vividly remember my dreams every night. If that ever changes, I know to look at my routine and see what needs to be fixed.

[caitlinh]

It sounds like the word Celsius is being censored like a swear haha

[buzzzzzz]

Obviously never been to Australia in Summer 😂
In most of this country we'd count ourselves lucky if we can get the inside temperature under 30°C on most nights.

[TJ-ilxu]

As a resident of the south, I can honestly say that if my house is 61-64 degrees I'd be freezing 🥶 😅 We keep our house at 72 and I'm already chilly there lol... I also couldn't afford the electricity bill to keep my house THAT dang cold in 100 degree weather

[shortyylu]

Magnesium and bitter cherry juiceeee seems to really work for people

[clarakhong]

16-18°C? Anything below 19°C at night and I fall sick. I run a bit colder than average. Guess I'll never get the best sleep. I've experimented how low I can get with the temperature at home. 19°C at night and 23°C during the day are the sweet spots for me, where I do not fall sick.

[Lexulous]

Damn right. Not a coincidence most of the things that helped me get a great night’s sleep in the past are both illegal and banned! Some legal substances that really helped me improve my sleep quality are standardized hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract and magnesium glycinate. I take the former during the day and it gives me mad energy and motivation to exercise. Keeps me nice and relaxed with a great positive mood too. Very reminiscent of how I felt on some of the illegal stuff, but without the side effects like addiction, tolerance, or just being blitzed out of my mind. As for the magnesium? Perfect way to cap off the day half an hour before bed.

[jeanetteandersen-wvty]

16 to 18 degrees ? We would never sleep. And freeze to death! 😮

[MisterMick]

Appreciate the conversion for us moon dwellers, cheers.

[meg_pflueger]

Can't sleep that cold. My house was 78° F and I slept in a sweater, under s comforter and a cotton blanket, with the ceiling fan on. I just turtle my limbs out when i need to adjust temp

[kutatm]

I can’t imagine the cost of keeping my house at 64 degrees F at night. It’s crazy!

[Voltaic_Fire]

Ideally my bedroom would be slightly above freezing, that is when I sleep best. I miss winter.

[immyownperson]

When you wake up feeling the best, don't go back to sleep no matter what some part of you says to do so. You're just gonna wake up feeling like crap😂
