\"TemperatureHow to regulate body temperature throughout the night to get the sleep you need<\/h2>\n

Ever tried to fall asleep in a bedroom that\u2019s too warm? It\u2019s a struggle. A big struggle. The reason? Our Core Body Temperature (CBT) is tied to our ability to sleep, which means as our need for sleep increases, our bodies naturally cool. Being in a room that\u2019s too warm can inhibit this natural process, making falling asleep a challenge. As well, overheating during sleep can lead to a problematic and disruptive night\u2019s sleep. Never fun.<\/p>\n

But exactly how cool should your bedroom be? What impact does temperature have on the quality of your sleep? You\u2019ve got questions and we\u2019ve got answers.<\/p>\n

How Core Body Temperature (CBT) impacts sleep<\/h2>\n

According to 2017 research that studied how warmer temperatures can impact sleep, \u201cNormal sleep-wake cycles are governed by circadian rhythms \u2013 automatic biological processes that follow a 24-hour clock \u2013and thermoregulation is a critical determinant of both falling asleep and staying asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thermoregulation is the process that slowly drops your CBT in the evenings to signal that it\u2019s time to get ready for sleep. And in the early morning, as the time to wake approaches, thermoregulation gently nudges your body temperature back up again so you\u2019re ready for action.<\/p>\n

Knowing how thermoregulation works to prepare your body for sleep can help you make decisions about when to exercise, take a hot bath or go for a cool dip in a pool \u2013 so you don\u2019t lose sleep over it.<\/p>\n

The impact of hot temperatures on quality of sleep<\/h2>\n

\"TemperatureAs you sleep (or try to fall asleep) your body needs to shed heat and cool itself down. When your sleep environment prevents this \u2013 whether the thermostat is set too high, the weather is hot and humid, or your bedding is too warm \u2013 sleep quality can be affected in a couple different ways.<\/p>\n
