Keeping an eye on sleep this winter
The change of season impacts many areas of life but perhaps the area that takes one of the hardest knocks is sleep. From the clocks going back and longer evenings to sleeping with the heating on, the circadian rhythm is easily knocked off kilter.
Experts recommend bedrooms are kept to between 16°C and 18°C¹ at night for a healthy sleep. However, 29%² of British adults leave their heating on while they sleep which may sound cosy (after all, nobody can relax and sleep while they’re cold) but in reality, this temperature hike may be doing more damage than good. Too high temperatures inside the home and in particular in the bedroom can easily result in disrupted sleep.
