Temperatures that aren’t comfortable enough to sleep in will keep you alert (and awake) for longer and prevent you from entering deep sleep. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://eightsleepcom.wpcomstaging.com/should-you-really-sleep-at-68-degrees/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShould you really sleep at 68 degrees? \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe ideal sleeping temperature is somewhere between 60 and 68 degrees fahrenheit, depending on if you run on the cooler or warmer side. Even a few degrees outside of this range may cause difficulty drifting off to sleep or staying asleep through the night. Although you may technically be in bed for the recommended eight hours, the amount of quality sleep you receive is likely much less. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBy increasing or decreasing your bedroom temperature and taking steps to improve your sleep patterns, you can improve how often and how well you sleep, which is an impactful boost to your overall health.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCreating the Ideal Sleeping Temperature\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTo maintain a good sleeping temperature, set the thermostat to 65 degrees as a starting point. From there, adjust it a few degrees cooler or warmer depending on your preference. In addition to changing the air in your room, the type of blankets you use make a difference as well. During the colder months, flannel sheets help to trap your body heat; in summer, you need light cotton or satin sheets to keep cooler. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMake sure your air vents are cleaned often to generate proper circulation. Also, it’s helpful to have the white noise and airflow of a bedside or ceiling fan. An added factor to consider is that a partner sleeping next to you adds body heat and likely will have a different temperature than what your body runs at. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLastly, record your sleep habits and make a switch to your bedroom’s temperature and air circulation accordingly. Your lack of sleep may simply come down to being too hot at bedtime and experiencing \u003c/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://eightsleepcom.wpcomstaging.com/what-are-night-sweats/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003enight sweats. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAdapting to Sleeping Conditions When You Travel\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNothing feels better than sleeping in your own bed, but when traveling, you can still set yourself up for a good night’s sleep. When staying at a hotel, immediately adjust the thermostat to your desired temperature to give the system enough time to cool down (or heat up) to your ideal state. For extra circulation, pack a travel fan in your suitcase or open a window, if possible. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eManaging Temperature with Technology for a Better Night’s Sleep\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe body follows a circadian rhythm that adjusts the internal temperature when it’s time for bed. This is altered if the room temperatures aren’t set correctly or there’s lack of ventilation in the room. With the kind of technological advancements available today, you can now personalize the sleeping temperature for both sides of the bed. The Eight Sleep Pod, for example, adjusts its temperature throughout the night to match the needs of your circadian rhythm. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Pod runs on water-powered thermal technology to deliver the ideal sleeping temperature for all. It’s the first and only bed designed with features that track your heart rate and respiratory rate and adjusts the temperature of your bed as needed during the night. It’s easy to customize, control the settings, and review your individual statistics through the corresponding Eight Sleep app. You’ll receive an analysis that shows your sleep score, how much time was spent sleeping, and how often you woke up. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOver time, you’ll notice an improved quality of sleep when you have your body temperature regulated automatically without having to wake up. With this data, you’ll have a better understanding of what you need and ways you can improve your sleep health. Consider it a personal trainer for your sleep, intent on improving your sleep fitness. Besides the Pod’s technology, it offers the added comfort of four layers of CertiPur-certified adaptive foam. \u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eImproving Your Sleep Patterns\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter you’ve found your right sleep temperature, there are complementary ways to ensure a full night’s rest and feel rejuvenated the next day. First, start with a dark, quiet room. Light keeps your senses alert making it harder to fall asleep. Also, falling asleep while watching television or scrolling through your phone keeps the mind active and not in a truly restful state. If you need noise to break up the silence, try a sound machine or a soothing sound app to create a peaceful environment. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAnother way to achieve quality sleep is to follow a nighttime routine a few hours before bed. By relaxing the body and mind in advance, it puts yourself in a better position to fall asleep faster. For many, this includes limiting the use of electronics, reading a book, gentle stretching, or mindful meditation. These activities help to quiet the mind and signals to your body that it’s almost time to sleep.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou can also improve your sleep by buying new pillows or a new mattress. Each person has their own preference of whether they sleep better with firm or soft bedding. Consider if your pillow lost its fluff or if your mattress has started to sink in the middle. If your bedding doesn’t hold its shape or is causing a stiff back or neck in the morning, it may be time for a switch. In general, it’s best to replace bedding every two to three years and a mattress every 10 years. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSleeping for the Sake of Your Health\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSince sleep is such an important part of maintaining your health, taking control of your sleep patterns is crucial. Optimizing the temperature of your room is beneficial because you’ll immediately notice a difference in how you feel during the night. Rather than kicking off the blankets or shivering beneath them, you’ll find the sweet spot that gives you the rest you’re looking for. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA light breeze from a fan or checking your vents for proper flow can also be the simple adjustments you need to make to obtain a good sleeping temperature. Start with small changes and note if you feel more rested in the morning. Once you’ve found your ideal temperature and follow a consistent sleep schedule, you’ll start to see how it benefits you mentally and physically. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe effects of a solid eight hours of sleep every night will leave you feeling refreshed and energized. Rather than facing the day feeling groggy or sluggish, it’ll improve your productivity and performance in all areas of life. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"sd-title\"\u003eShare this:\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sd-content\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli class=\"share-twitter\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2746\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https://eightsleepcom.wpcomstaging.com/optimal-sleeping-temperature/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" \u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwitter\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"share-facebook\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2746\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https://eightsleepcom.wpcomstaging.com/optimal-sleeping-temperature/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" \u003e\u003cspan\u003eFacebook\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"share-end\"\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"}]},"__N_SSG":true},"page":"/blog","query":{},"buildId":"BAHUE9cjlIhI4TPFtkAMn","isFallback":false,"gsp":true,"appGip":true,"scriptLoader":[]}</script></body></html>
