Cool Beds For A Better Nights Sleep

Cool Beds – Temperature Is Important

Cool Beds And Body Temperature

Many sleep experts recommend that a cool bedroom, an environment with a temperature at around 65 degrees, makes for the best sleeping environment, and research backs this notion. During the course of a typical day, your body temperature is constantly rising and falling slightly. This pattern of temperature variation is linked to your sleep cycle. A typical night time sleep profile is as follows. As you become sleepy, your body temperature goes down, reaching its lowest point around five a.m., as morning begins it climbs slightly.

Cool Beds and Air Temperature

This is why the air in your bedroom can affect the quality of your sleep
If the air in your bedroom is too hot, it may interfere with your body’s natural temperature drop and make you more restless through the night. Research studies indicate that some forms of insomnia are associated with an improper regulation in body temperature.

It is important to note that each of us has a slightly different optimal temperature for sleep, so it is worthwhile to experiment with keeping your room cool and find what makes you (and your partner) most comfortable

Cool Beds and Thermoregulation

During the night, the body’s own heating and cooling mechanisms keep your temperature in a healthy range. Unfortunately the changes that come with this natural “thermoregulation” can make it hard to sleep peacefully.
As your temperature rises, your body produces sweat (a natural process that is meant to cool you down as it evaporates off your skin). If the air, your mattress, duvet, or nightwear keep you too warm, you might find yourself damp and uncomfortable.

  • If the room is too humid, then the process of sweating may not even cool you off, since the air is already saturated.
  • If the room temperature is too cool, this will produce a shiver. This is a natural body response in which your muscles contract and expand rapidly to produce heat.
  • Both of these automatic processes can happen without our conscious knowledge and they tend to make for restless sleep.
