What is the temperature in your bedroom?
In the search for a perfect night's rest, we often neglect one of the key factors that affect the quality of our sleep: temperature and air conditioning in the bedroom.
On hot summer nights, when the air warms up to almost tropical temperatures, providing the right conditions for a good night's sleep can seem almost impossible. But right correct temperature setting and humidity can make a big difference. Improperly installed air conditioning in the bedroom not only affects the quality of your sleep, but can also affect your health in the long term.
Optimal temperature for the bedroom
The ideal temperature for sleeping varies between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius. This area allows the body to cool down and prepare for deep sleep.
People who have air conditioners, you should make sure that the temperature is set within these values.
