rank | Fri Dec 20 05:13:35 2024 --------------------------------------------- Tonight, before you head to bed, check your thermostat. Set it somewhere between 60 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. People sleep better in that temperature range. “Not only in terms of maintaining sleep, but also of falling asleep,” says Alon Avidan, MD, MPH, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center. That also goes for how long you sleep and how well. The exact number is hard to pinpoint. It varies from person to person. But a 5-degree range is easy enough to experiment with. http://www...t-sleep-adjust-the-temperature --------------------------------------------- If I set the thermostat below 73° F (22.8° C for the rest of the world) to sleep, I'd turn into a popsicle. I would have to sleep in a hoodie. What temperature do the rest of you set your thermostats to to sleep? |

A proper down duvet is a must of course. And they need to be swapped out every 5 years or so. You fellows are likely literally drowning in mites. Easy to kill in sub zero temperatures, but you would need a dedicated freezer or something for that job. |

rank | Sat Dec 21 06:15:17 2024 jergul in general seems to have the right ideas, but he's about 5 (civilized) degrees too low on his temps. |

Seb
rank | Sat Dec 21 21:53:19 2024 To be fair, in summer the central heating is off and we just use a fan or a concession cooler for the odd few days it gets really hot. |

rank | Sun Dec 22 04:21:47 2024 Depends heavily on the humidity and the ground temperature, which can make hot feel hotter or cold feel colder. But generally speaking, I'll keep it between 68-70 during the winter and 74-76 during the summer. On the rare occasion it drops below freezing and energy conservation is required, I'll drop it to 65 and insulate with towels/spare blankets, but can't go much below that without risking the pipes freezing. Texas is the only state that doesn't require winterizing power lines or plumbing, nor burying them deep enough to protect them from ground freezes. |

rank | Mon Dec 23 18:24:21 2024 Sleeping in a colder room does give me a better nights rest. You just need to bundle up. But yeah, leaving a fan on will dry your mouth. |
Nimatzo
rank | Mon Dec 23 19:53:19 2024 You want to make sure the fan only hits your lower body, many times just hitting your feet is enough. |

rank | Mon Dec 23 20:05:25 2024 This time of year is best for snoozing. Air off, fan on, window cracked and it's in the 30's/40's outside. Sits in the low-60s. |
Forwyn
rank | Mon Dec 23 20:08:18 2024 Should be about 45°, or ~7° C tonight, and rainy. Excellent window-cracking weather. |
