During chilly fall and winter evenings, do you turn the thermostat up in your house? Perhaps you like to be very warm and cozy as you are drifting off to sleep. Or do you like your bedroom to be slightly on the cool side? While indoor temperature might seem like purely a matter of personal preference, it can actually have a bearing on your health. Specifically, it could affect your sleep apnea<\/a> symptoms. Just how does temperature affect sleep apnea? This blog post explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Temperature and Sleep Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have ever slept in a hot room with no air conditioning, you probably remember an uncomfortable experience. You might have woken up several times throughout the night and felt exhausted the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research has found that most humans sleep best when the ambient temperature is 60 \u2013 67 degrees Fahrenheit. That might seem a little on the cool side, but it makes sense because when you drift off to sleep, your body temperature drops. If your surroundings are too hot, it can take more energy to get your body to its ideal sleeping temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with sleep apnea need to be especially aware of how temperature might affect their condition. Many people have found that when their room is too hot, their symptoms become worse. If you regularly sleep in a warm (or hot) bedroom, it may be wise to set your thermostat a little lower. You might be surprised by your results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
