What's the ideal bedroom temperature for sleep?
Your core body temperature naturally drops as you fall asleep. A room that's too warm fights this process and fragments sleep.
The sweet spot
Most sleep specialists recommend 18-19°C (64-66°F) for adults, cooler for infants isn't advised — check our sleep by age guide for details.
Practical adjustments
- Ventilate the room 15 minutes before bed.
- Prefer breathable bedding (cotton, linen) over synthetic fabrics.
- A lukewarm shower 1-2 hours before bed helps the body cool down afterward.
