Keep the bedroom around 18°C (65°F) for the best sleep
Too warm delays sleep more than most people realise.
Why it works
Core body temperature needs to drop to initiate sleep, and a warm room works directly against that drop. Sleep studies consistently find rooms in the 16-19°C range produce faster sleep onset and fewer night wakings than warmer ones.
