We know very well today that a good night’s rest is absolutely imperative for health and wellbeing.
Whether you are getting enough hours of sleep and whether or not that sleep quality is good will definitely impact your health.
Sure, you’re going to want light and noise to be at a bare minimum, but the temperature of the room as well as the humidity level is also extremely important for facilitating a good night’s rest. In fact, the temperature of a room may be one of the most important things that determine whether or not you have a good night’s rest. Your internal body temperature naturally drops as you are getting ready to sleep. When the temperature in the room is lower, this process is helped along. For those of you who like to sleep on the warmer side, it might come as quite a shock without the national sleep foundation recommending your thermostat be set to between 60 and 67° F in order to facilitate the best conditions for sleeping well. It’s not just about temperature, however. It’s also about humidity levels. If the room is too humid it will cause a damp and sticky feeling that can lead to discomfort. On the other hand, if it is too dry in the room, this can cause your sinuses to become too dry and irritated. Luckily, modern air conditioners have built-in humidity regulation. Keep all these things in mind when you consider what might be causing you difficulty in getting a good night’s sleep! Temperature and humidity levels are important!
