It is interesting that they suggest that a room that progressively gets colder through the night might help you sleep better. I'm currently living in a fairly warm part of Japan and we have no heat in the house (or air conditioning). I definitely sleep better here than I do when I'm in Canada or the UK.
There are probably many other factors (for example, I sleep on the floor in Japan and use a "pillow" that is really just a sack of grain -- it might sound strange, but it is so much nicer than the overly soft trappings of western bedrooms IMHO). I had never really considered temperature as being a factor, though.
- cableshaft 11y agoI knew temperature was a factor. I have severe difficulty falling asleep unless I'm slightly chilly, preferably with a fan blowing on me. So probably around 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything more than 70 degrees and I start to have problems. 78 degrees or higher and I will probably be jumping in the shower, applying wet towels to my legs, maybe bring a cold pack out of the freezer, sit in front of the open refrigerator door for several minutes, anything to try to cool me off, and it will take a couple hours to fall asleep, unless I'm already super exhausted.
