Whether the days are scorching hot or the nights freezing cold, it might seem like you can never find the right temperature to fall into a deep and restful night. Does the temperature of your home affect your ability to get a good snooze? It certainly does.
Body Temperature Drops before You Drop Off
Did you know that just before you nod off your body temperature actually drops a degree or two? Your body is powering down and telling active systems that it is time to recharge your battery. When your brain achieves that perfect cool temperature, you fall asleep.
Tossing Off Covers When it’s Too Hot and Piling on the Blankets at 2 AM
Your body will work to maintain an even temperature all night long, but the heat gets trapped in the mattress, your pillow, or escapes through the thin sheets. How many times do you wake up in a tangle of sticky sheets? Or perhaps you are always reaching for the extra blanket in the middle of the night. Every time that your body insists it is too hot or too cold, you are interrupting your natural sleep patterns.
The Just Right Temp will Help You Sleep All Night Long
Medical professionals all agree that for the best night’s sleep you must find the temperature that works best for you. An extra pair of socks or a ceiling fan can do wonders.
