WHAT:
As summer finally shows its sunny rays,
temperatures are rising each day and bedroom temperatures get
warmer each night. A summer heat wave can result in the loss of 15
to 20 minutes of quality sleep each night. During a 2016 summer
heat wave, Sleep Number’s proprietary SleepIQ® technology reported
that for every 10 degrees that the temperature rose above the
national average, people lost an average of 3 to 4 minutes of
sleep.
While there’s not much you can do about
the outside temperature, adjusting bedroom temperature can help you
get the most out of your nightly zzz’s…unless your sleep partner
doesn’t agree on a comfortable temperature! A recent national
Omnibus survey by Sleep Number showed:
-- This topic makes millennial couples
especially HOT – 44% of them (18-34 years old) discuss bedroom
temperature at least once a week, while 30% of couples in other age
groups report a weekly temperature discussion.
-- Summer is the season when couples most
often discuss bedroom temperature, followed by Winter.
So, who is right? Sleep Number data shows
we sleep best when the bedroom temperature is set around 65
degrees. Beyond just the room temperature, consider these tips for
keeping both partners comfortable:
-- Take a shower before bed to warm your
skin – this actually lowers your internal body temperature, which
can help bring on sleepiness.
-- Swap your bedding – if you find the bed
to be too warm, try 100 percent cotton bedding. Many people prefer
an open weave cotton blanket.
-- Skip exercise and large meals before
bed – exercising or eating before bed can raise internal body
temperature, making it harder to fall asleep.
-- Take the necessary steps to keep
outside heat from getting in. This might include using blinds to
keep out the sunlight, or keeping the windows shut.
-- Try adding a DualTemp™ layer under the
sheets. This can help both partners keep a steady temperature
throughout the night.
