If you wake up during the night to kick off your blankets, your room might be too warm for a restful sleep. While each person will have their own temperature preferences, research shows that a comfortably cool bedroom can help you catch more z’s. This guide will explain how temperature affects sleep and how the right air conditioning system can improve the environment in your bedroom. 

What Is the Ideal Temperature for Sleep?

As you fall asleep, your brain lowers your body's internal temperature to help you get some shut-eye and enter REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. However, a warm room may make it difficult for the body to achieve a temperature drop. You might find yourself waking up more often or having trouble falling asleep at all. 

So, what is the ideal temperature for sleep? According to the National Sleep Foundation, any temperature between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit is optimal. You can set the air conditioning system to between 65 and 70 degrees for babies and toddlers.

How Can You Make Your Room More Comfortable?

One of the best ways to make your room a more comfortable temperature is to install a ductless air conditioning system in each room. You can program this HVAC unit to keep your bedroom at your preferred temperature year-round. Since a ductless unit works just in that room, you can make your bedroom cooler than the rest of your home. You can also install separate units in your children’s bedrooms to keep their spaces slightly warmer than yours. These isolated units can keep your family more rested than ever before.
