Can anyone explain why you can stand the heat in the day, but when it comes to night, while it may be a comfortable 15c outside you can't sleep, and it seems much hotter? Maybe it's just me. I'm talking about those (rare) 30c hot days in an English summer (no sniggering).
Is it internal, bodily factors or external factors (e.g. the house absorbing the heat? I don't buy that, though, as I can have all the windows open blowing cool air in and still not sleep).
- raverbashing 14y agoOne of the issues is that your house heats/cools with a certain thermal inertia, so at the end of the day it's almost as hot as it gets (as it cools during the night and heats through the day). In the morning it's as cold as it gets, in the sunset it's as hot as it gets There are probably some biological factors (still, I feel colder when sleeping, but of course I have a bad time sleeping when it's hot)

Scientists believe a cooler bedroom may therefore be most conducive to sleep, since it mimics your body’s natural temperature drop."
