Have you ever tossed and turned on a hot summer night, with the humid air trapping you in a cycle of restlessness? Have you woken up shivering due to the cold weather? 

If so, you’re not alone. With the increasingly volatile temperatures, it has become harder to sleep. 

Understanding Body Temperature and Sleep Cycle

Our body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, influences temperature regulation throughout sleeping hours. During deep sleep phases (non-REM), core body temperatures decrease whereas surface body temperature increases due to core heat release.

Therefore, achieving optimal sleep depends on your environment, and the temperature is crucial. Even slight changes outside this ‘comfort zone’ can disrupt sleep and throw off your sleeping pattern.

The Role of Air Conditioning in Restful Sleep

Air conditioning allows us to control our sleeping environment’s temperature, creating the perfect setting for a good night’s sleep. The National Sleep Foundation recommends setting your bedroom temperature between 60 and 67-degrees Fahrenheit (15-19 degrees Celsius) for optimal resting conditions.

A consistent temperature helps maintain balance in core and surface body temperatures, facilitating natural phases of heat release during non-REM sleep.
