As the weather’s warming up in Bucks County, a cool and comfortable bedroom becomes essential for a good night’s sleep. Now, the question is – what’s the ideal air conditioning temperature for sleeping?
Finding Your Sleep Sweet Spot
The National Sleep Foundation suggests a range of 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit (for adults) for optimal sleep temperature. This range supports your body’s temperature regulation process during sleep. As your body temperature dips slightly, a cooler room can aid in this process, promoting better sleep.
While the 60–67-degree range is a good starting point, remember that ideal temperature can vary with each individual. If you’re noticing your home is uncomfortable when you’re trying to fall asleep, consider increasing or decreasing your thermostat settings. But if your home is still not maintaining its desired temperature, consider these tips:
-
Replace your air filters: Dirty air filters restrict air flow, which causes uneven temperatures throughout your home. Change your air filter to keep cool air flowing, and it’s recommended to change your air filter at least once a month.
-
Call for service: If you hear strange noises or notice that your cooling system is still not keeping your home comfortable, call us! The service call and repair might be covered under our air conditioning service plans, and enrolling is a great way to maintain your cooling equipment and eliminate big service bills.
-
