As we age, prioritizing sleep becomes crucial for health and energy.
Dr. Kelvas, a sleep expert, emphasizes how room temperature affects our
ability to fall and stay asleep. The ideal temperature for quality sleep
is between 60°F (15.5°C) and 68°F (20°C).Temperature plays a key role in
regulating our body’s sleep cycle. A cooler room promotes the release of melatonin,
helping us fall asleep faster and spend more time in deep sleep phases like REM.
It also aids in brown fat activation, improving metabolism and reducing the risk
of conditions like type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s.Even without a thermostat,
you can optimize your sleep by taking a warm bath before bed to help lower your
internal temperature. Prioritizing the right sleep environment can
significantly improve your health and well-being.
